The Kids Summer Surf Program is a fun and progressive three-day surf adventure designed for children aged seven to sixteen. Held at the beautiful Te Arai Beach Reserve, this program runs daily throughout the Christmas school holidays and offers a safe and exciting introduction to surfing. Each ninety-minute session builds on the last, helping children progress from basic whitewater skills to confident wave riding. Experienced instructors group kids by age and ability to ensure personalised attention, making it suitable for complete beginners as well as those looking to improve their surfing skills.
Participants will enjoy hands-on coaching in the water, covering paddling, popping up, wave riding, board control, and turning, all in a supportive and engaging environment. The program includes all necessary surf gear, small-group instruction, and a structured learning plan to foster confidence, coordination, and ocean awareness. Children will leave with enhanced skills, fond memories of the beach, and a greater love for the ocean.

Renee

The most amazing women’s wellness retreat! I went for the surfing and yoga and came away with so much more. The instructor was kind and caring supporting us all the way through. The accommodation was stunning! The belly laughs and water slide were an added bonus. Can’t wait to do it all again!

Amazing rental experience! The gear was in great condition and the staff was super friendly and helpful! They even supplied soft racks so we could transport the boards! This was the third time we have rented from Aotearoa Surf School and we will definitely be back!

We had such a great time with Angar! He’s funny, friendly, and shared a lot of valuable tips from his experience. We’re really enjoying the lessons. Thank you so much!

Such a beautiful experience! Everyone was so awesome but Paul was an amazing instructor!!! My friends and I were all beginners and had no experience but he helped us get comfortable, learn quick and be safe! We will definitely be back ☺️

First of all, this is a very unique choice for a birthday party! And this surfing school might be the best in Auckland! At first, I encountered some problems when making the reservation, but the managers solved them all perfectly for me! And through the email communication, I could feel the school's values and the positive attitude towards guests! They make you feel that even if it's windy or rainy, it's no big deal! This made me feel very at ease! Today's birthday party was a great success. The coaches were very professional, and their physiques were excellent! Their humor and positivity also influenced our birthday guests! I highly recommend this school! Moreover, when we met the coaches at the beach, their setup was very impressive! They had their own brand flags and tents, as well as professional surfing suits, and many different sizes of surfboards. They brought a whole carload of surfboards!
