“ I was just passing through the area so I only had time for one private lesson. I chose to go to their home beach, Te Arai. Beautiful spot, almost no buildings on the shore so it feels like being out on a wild beach. The class was just perfect from Start to Finish. The instructor had a thorough Interview with me to determine my skill level. We started on the beach, then in to the whitewash, and after he saw my pop-up was solid went directly into the green water. Shane really had a plan what he wanted me to learn (easy turning, wave reading/selection), and did a great job. In the end I was given the option of having some photos taken (no pressure, if you don’t like them, you don’t pay), which I did. If I get to return to Auckland/Northland, I will definitely take more classes with Shane! Thanks, mate!

“ Considering most of the team had never stepped foot on a surfboard, to have us all standing by the end of the lesson was no mean feat. Used as a team bonding experience, we couldn't recommend Aotearoa Surf Lessons enough. Thanks guys and looking forward to hiring gear next time we're out!

“ We booked a kid's surfing party for a group of eight children (ages 6-9); and they absolutely loved their surfing experience! Both staff members were really lovely with the kids (particularly with the ones a little more nervous or less confident in the water). All of them were able to stand up on their boards by the end of the lesson. Lovely beach and setting - and would highly recommend Aotearoa Surf for lessons.
