Quick DETAILS
CORPORATES & TEAMS

Getting a team genuinely engaged outside the office is harder than it sounds. A rented venue or meeting room activity rarely delivers what you’re actually after. A day at the beach does.

 

Whether it’s a half day on the water or a full multi-day retreat with accommodation and catering, we plan and run the whole thing. You show up, the experience takes care of itself.

 

We’ve worked with teams from Fonterra, Lululemon, Lion NZ and Snowplanet. Every program is built around your team, not a fixed package

surf lesson experience

From $45 per person | 2 – 2.5 hrs

 

The most popular starting point for corporate groups. A focused, high-engaging session at the beach that fits into a working day without taking over the whole calendar. Everyone gets in the water, no surfing experience needed, all ages and fitness levels.

The energy of a group catching their first waves together is something a boardroom simply can’t replicate.

 

  • Surfing, paddleboarding or kayaking
  • All surboards, wetsuits, equipment and instructors provided
  • Available at Orewa, Omaha, Te Arai, Mangawhai or your preferred Auckland or Northland beach
  • Tailored to the size, fitness levels and goals of your group
  • Integrate lunch, after surf drinks or another local activity with your experience, we can recommend a great line up
FULL DAY PROGRAM

From $65 per person | Full day 5-6 hours

 

A complete day away from the office with multiple activities, a proper lunch break and enough time for your team to actually decompress and connect. We manage the full day so your people can focus on each other rather than the programme.

 

  • Surfing, paddleboarding and kayaking in rotation
  • Beach team challenges and games
  • Coastal hike and yoga available
  • All equipment, all supervision, full operational management
  • Available at any Auckland or Northland location

     

Just want surfing? We run two surf sessions, so your team builds on what they learned in the first round.

Why it works

Why a day in the ocean works for teams

 

Shared challenge does something that a structured workshop can’t. When someone who has never surfed before stands up on a board and rides a wave in front of their colleagues, something shifts. The hierarchy flattens. The conversation changes. People who haven’t properly spoken in months end up laughing together in the whitewash.

 

That’s not an accident – it’s what happens when you put people in an unfamiliar environment with a clear goal, qualified coaches and enough space to actually enjoy themselves.

 

  • Every activity is designed to be inclusive regardless of fitness or experience
  • Skill levels and comfort zones are respected and never forced
  • The beach naturally creates conversation and connection that offices don’t
  • People leave with a shared story – and that’s worth more than most team building exercises
  •  

What’s included in every program

 

  • Full event planning and operational oversight – we handle all logistics
  • Comprehensive safety briefing and risk management documentation
  • ISA-qualified, first aid certified, surf lifesaving awarded instructors
  • All surf equipment – boards, wetsuits, rash vests and sunscreen
  • Beach games and team challenges tailored to your group
  • Flexible activity mix based on your team’s interests and fitness
  • WorkSafe compliant under the Adventure Tourism Act
  • Full RAMS, SOPs and Emergency Action Plans provided on request
  •  

From first call to day on the beach

 

1. Connect

 

Call, email or book a quick video call. Tell us about your team, size, goals, what you’re hoping to achieve and any dates you have in mind. We’ll come back with a tailored recommendation within 24 hours.

 

2. Plan

 

We design a program around your team, confirm the location and send you everything you need, including all risk documentation, logistics and what to communicate to your team beforehand.

 

3. Deliver

 

Arrive at the beach. We take care of the rest, safety briefings, equipment, activities and coaching. Your job is to enjoy the day with your team.

Why businesses choose us

 

We make it easy to organise

One call or email and we take it from there. We handle all planning, logistics, risk documentation and on the day management. You don’t need to think about equipment, rotations or safety, that’s our job.

 

No experience needed – from anyone

Every program is designed for mixed groups. The quiet ones, the competitive ones, the ones who haven’t done anything physical in years, everyone gets in the water and everyone has a good time. We’re experienced at reading groups and adjusting on the fly. Age and fitness levels are no limit.

 

It actually works as team building

Surfing puts people on equal footing. Titles and hierarchy disappear in the whitewash. The shared challenge of learning something new together, and cheering each other on, creates the kind of connection that a workshop or restaurant dinner rarely does.

 

Fully safe and professionally managed

ISA qualified instructors, first aid certified, surf lifesaving awarded. WorkSafe compliant under the Adventure Tourism Act. Full RAMS, SOPs and Emergency Action Plans available. Operating since 2002 with no notifiable health and safety incidents. Your duty of care is covered.

 

Flexible to fit your team

Half day, full day or multi-day retreat. Small team or large group. One activity or a full programme. We work around your budget, your calendar and what your team actually needs,  not a fixed package.

They helped us structure and organise two hours of activities for 60+ volunteers - yoga, team building games and surf lessons. The instructors were super friendly and great at offering activities that suited all personality types and fitness levels. They made event planning and risk assessments a breeze. Huge thank you to the crew.
