We’re based in Mangawhai and Te Arai, home of the most beautiful surf beaches on the east coast and just over an hour’s drive north of Auckland. Aotearoa Surf has the sole operating licence for Te Arai beach.
We’re a mobile surf school, so also operate all along the east coast, including Orewa, Omaha, Pakiri, Te Arai, Mangawhai, Langs Beach and Waipu Cove. This flexibility lets us offer school programs, corporate events, birthday parties and of course surfing lessons throughout the Auckland region and catch the best conditions on the day.
