Overview
Our after school program is an awesome platform for young surfers to continually develop, build their skills & knowledge. It is action filled and comprehensive, designed to ignite a love of the ocean and surfing.
The lessons change from week to week giving the groms a taste of surfing in all different conditions. This enables them to adapt and develop their skills so much faster. Surfing alongside other groms of similar age and abilities builds their confidence and inspires them to try new things.
During lessons your little groms will learn:
- Develop surfing related fitness which will help them improve their performance
- Reading surf reports and understanding the conditions
- A thorough understanding of beach safety
- Breaking down the practical techniques of surfing
- Learning strategies for competition surfing, with a few fun competitions held throughout the term
- Developing an understanding of the biomechanics of surfing

Frequently Asked Questions
If my child misses a class can they have a catch up lesson?
Yes. Catch up lessons can provided for missed classes but conditions apply. Please contact us.
Why is the price different for each school term?
Prices change depending on the number of weeks in the term.
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?
The price for our After School Surfing - Term 4 - 2025 is 230-280 NZD per child. 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.
What is your cancellation policy?
A full refund or credit will be issued if you cancel at least 24 hours before your lesson starts. Please read our full cancellation policy for more details.
