About Our Kids Surfing Lessons
Our Kids surfing lessons are designed especially for your little surfers aged between 5-17 years old. We will help them gain the skills & confidence to start catching their first waves while being safe & having lots of FUN in the ocean.
For more experienced groms (young surfers) who have already nailed the basics we offer progressive lessons to take their surfing to the next level.
We keep ratios very low with 1 coach to 6 groms to ensure safety & that coaching can be tailored to individual needs & performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the youngest age kids can start surfing?
Generally we take kids from 5 yrs old in our group lessons. It is important that younger kids are not scared of the water though as the coach has the responsibility of several kids in the lessons. If you are unsure you can book in to do a private lesson first to build your child’s confidence. Check out our Private Lessons. We also recommend that parents are nearby during the lesson in case the child needs help transporting their board to and from the water. This is always a great chance to take some fun photos!!
Do you need to book in for lessons?
Yes. It’s best to book lessons prior to the day to avoid disappointment, (especially in peak season Dec/Jan). Once we have reached our class limit we cannot add extras. We keep our ratios low for safety and so that everyone in the lesson has a chance to spend some quality time with their coach during each lesson. Book upcoming lessons.
How can I book?
You can book directly online through our booking platform or contact us by phone at +64-21-719-773.
When can I surf?
Most of our lessons are run to best suit the tide, so lesson times can vary. Contact us or jump on our booking page to see current lesson times.
What beach do you surf at?
We surf out of Waipu Cove beach. Waipu Cove on Google Maps. When you arrive look for our large Learn 2 Surf van. If there are poor conditions at Waipu Cove (strong winds, big swells or too much seaweed) we may move to Langs Beach, Ruakaka Beach, or Uretiti Beach. This is a last resort and we will usually contact you a minimum of 2 hours prior to the sessions starting. E.g. by 8am the call is made for the 10am session.
What are your lessons prices?
Lesson prices depend on the type of lesson you are wanting. We happily cater for small and large groups sizes as well as individuals. View our price list and range of lessons.
