Friendly staff and thorough instruction - Peter was the perfect instructor for our 9 year old grandson. He was patient and kind. Our grandson was able to stand up, caught several good waves and wants to surf again!

Best surfing experience - Some people don't know it, but Hiedemann, who famously recruited Hans, teaches you how to surf. I've been surfing for 45 years, and I joined to get her to teach me. They don't use Japanese but they teach easy to understand and attentive, so even if it's your first time standing on a surfboard you'll be impressed Recommended.

Exceptional private lessons - Super easy check-in at the office. You watch a quick water safety video, and they go over all the lesson options—group, private, or tandem. The instructors help you figure out what’s best for you. It’s only a quick 2-minute walk to the surf spot, and they already have the boards waiting. Another short paddle out and you’re good to go. All the instructors are awesome. We love Kalei and Niko, and Charlie is my favorite!

First time surfer kids had a whale of a time - My 13yo son and 9yo daughter got private surf lessons from Luis and Charley. They had an absolutely fantastic time. It was their first time surfing and they are hooked, especially my daughter. She wanted to go back again the next day. Do not miss the photos. While we thought we could just take some videos from the pier, which we did, those drone photos and videos are something else. Totally worth it!

Super, fun beginner's lesson - I booked a private lesson on an impulse at short notice. I went directly to the shop (round the corner from my accommodation) to book. Since I was travelling alone, was a beginner surfer and am older, meeting the staff gave me a better feel for the company than just checking out the website. They were super friendly and approachable and dealt with my questions and booking quickly and efficiently. The shop has long-sleeved tops and 'river' shoes for customers to borrow for lessons. After a short intro video, they then took me down to the waterfront (ca. 5 min walk) to meet my instructor, Gavin. The lesson was so much fun with clear instructions, tips and support, as required, with manoeuvring the surf board as it can get tiring paddling out to the waves repeatedly. Gavin was very friendly and positive so that I felt at ease, gaining confidence to follow through with his clear instructions. He found the right balance between leaving the learner to do everything for themselves and giving a hand so that the learner doesn't end up exhausted early on in the lesson. All in all, a fabulous experience!

Private lessons were great - I have been surfing for awhile but wanted some tips for how to get to the next level. I surfed with Sergio and he was fantastic- pointing out technique gaps that I would never have found on my own. Definitely recommend. Off to North Shore tomorrow!!!

Private surf lesson with Louis - Louis was an amazing and fun instructor! I took an advanced beginner private and felt like I improved and built my confidence enough to go out on my own. I definitely recommend!

“That was awesome” - My son had an amazing time with his instructor Chris. The whole crew made sure that we had the best time out there on the waves. They had patience and compassion for a first timer and it showed. Highly recommend. Worth every penny.
