“ Best holiday program by far!! Che and his crew are awesome. My son has attended both the term lessons and school holiday program and they are worth every cent. I would recommend these guys to anyone.
“ Amazing school holidays for kids with Aotearoa Surf School!!!!!!! My kids said “THE BEST” school holiday camp of 4 days. It was really nice organized, the kids did paddle board, surf at different beaches, snorkeling, kayaking, sliding on the sand dune…what a program. My girls of 12 and 9 really enjoyed! It will be a classic of the school holiday. Many thanks team you did an amazing job!
“ My 8 year son jumped in on one of the kids 5 day summer camp surfing lessons and he had the best time! The guys that took the lesson were fun, motivating and supported the kids 100% in the water. The only bad thing for us was that we had to go home and couldn’t sign our son up for the full 5 days. Aotearoa Surf School gave my son more confidence in the water while highlighting the importance of being safe. We will definitely be back next summer, if not before! Thanks to Che and the team at Aotearoa Surf School
“ Best week’s entertainment for our 9 year old boys this summer. They had a blast, learnt a lot including safety and how to suss out a good place to surf and caught some waves. The team were all super positive, and I loved their manner with the boys. Awesome. Definitely repeat!!
“ My grandson had an amazing week. He was thrilled with what he learnt and went from a novice to a confident beginner. Instructors were very involved with the children and aware of each kid’s needs. Would love to come back.
“ Che and his team of enthusiastic, fun and polite helpers were fantastic and all three of my boys (9,7,5) who had never surfed EVER were up on surfboards on the FIRST DAY!! I highly recommend the holiday programme and we will be back!!
