Best Value Summer Activity
Three days of progressive surfing for kids right through the summer holidays.
What makes this program different to a one off lesson is the progression. Day one is about foundations. Day two builds on what clicked the day before. Day three is where it all starts to come together and kids genuinely surprise themselves.
Day 1 – Start here
Ocean safety, paddling technique, pop-up and catching whitewash. The goal is simple: Get up and ride!
Day 2 – Feel the wave
Board control, positioning and generating speed. Kids start to understand the wave rather than just reacting to it.
Day 3 – Put it together
Turning, reading waves earlier and building their own feel for surfing. This is the session where the improvement becomes obvious.
Each 90 minute session includes a beach briefing, time in the water and a wrap up looking ahead to the next day.
The Summer Surf Program runs every day right through the Christmas and summer holidays at both Orewa Beach and Te Arai Beach.
26-28 Dec | 29-31 Dec | 2-4 Jan | 5-7 Jan | 8-10 Jan | 11-13 Jan | 14-16 Jan | 17-19 Jan | 20-22 Jan | 23-25 Jan | 26-28 Jan | 29-31 Jan
Sessions fill fast through January. Book early to lock in your preferred dates. You can book multiple programs back to back if your child wants to keep going through the holidays.
All surf equipment is provided. Your child is welcome to bring their own gear and we’ll check it suits the conditions on the day.
Your child’s safety is our first priority, always.
If your child has specific learning, behavioural or physical needs, get in touch before booking and we’ll make sure the program works for them. We have real experience adapting our approach for a wide range of kids and we’re happy to talk it through.
We welcome poor swimmers. Your surfer will be in waist to chest depth water with their feet on the ocean sand.
We surf in almost all conditions and some of the best sessions happen when its raining. If the ocean is genuinely unsafe, we’ll reschedule where we can. We’ll always let you know in advance.
With the Summer Surf Program it doesnt really matter, choose the beach closest to you. If you choose Orewa first you may like to try Orewa again or step it up to Te Arai for yo9ur second program.
Whist NZ regulations is maximum 1 instructor to 8 surfers, we target a maximum of 1 instructor for every 6 surfers. Younger or more vulnerable kids always get extra attention.
Absolutely, bring your board or wetsuit along, we will check the board is suitable for the day. You can always use our gear. Everything is supplied!
