"Aloha" - 2hr Group Lesson

Who: Beginner - Intermediate Surfers

When: Everyday

Duration: 2 Hours

Location: Main Beach, Mount Maunganui

From NZD$79.00

More Info

Have you always wanted to learn to surf but don’t know where to start?  Join an Aloha Small-Group Lesson – our most popular lesson!  You’ll enjoy personalized instruction at fantastic value, with just 2-6 participants allowed per instructor.  

It’s common for surf schools to put everyone into one big group, but from our 15 years experience teaching beginners, we know that’s not ideal for learning – at all!  Small groups are safer, more fun, and you’ll understand how to surf faster!  100% worth it.  

Your equipment hire is included – a soft-top beginner surfboard and full length wetsuit, correctly fitted to you.  

The class begins with a 20 minute beach theory, where you’ll learn ocean safety, paddling and pop-up.  Then you’ll be taken into the water, where your instructor will help you onto small waves and cheer you on.

Before you know it, you’ll be riding waves with a huge smile on your face!
