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!

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!

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!

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!!!

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!
