Aotearoa Surf School’s Day Trips are truly memorable, outstanding value for money and a great way to get started on your discovery of surfing. Not only will you be learning new skills but you will meet new friends and see some great sights along the way. We depart downtown Auckland at 9am and head for whichever beach is offering the best conditions on the day. It could be Piha on Auckland’s West Coast with it’s unique bush setting and black sand or up the East coast to one of the many pristine white sandy beaches within a 90minute drive from the city. You will be provided with a wetsuit and surfboard and introduced to water safety, surfing specific warm ups and stretches, surfing etiquette and basic techniques in a 2 hour step by step lesson in waist high water with your coach right next to you Then it’s time for our special BBQ lunch and a short rest before another 2 hour coaching session during which you can build on the new skills and confidence you gained in the morning and learn additional techniques as well. We ensure that you are able to learn at your own pace and are safe and comfortable at all times. Around 4-4.30pm we pack up and head back to the city arriving between 5pm and 6pm approximately depending on which beach we were at, traffic etc. You will be delighted at what you have learned and what you have seen and experienced.
