Absolutely 10/10 recommend this company. We started off as a group of 9 inquiring about private group lessons, and I amended the booking 3 times, as our group kept increasing- 9, 12 and finally 14 gals. Each time our booking changed, communication with Che was so easy and the responses were lightning fast. With the Tropical Storm coming, we thought it would get cancelled as we were a bunch of greenies who had never stepped on a board before, however Che let us know it was moved to Langs Beach instead, so we were happy chaps. We rocked up to the beach looking like absolute weenies and the water looked absolutely wild. Smashing waves and rainy, but it was all a part of the adventure and we were keen to get amongst it. We were greeted by Corne and Leo who were the most chilled out and energetic instuctors ever, then a third instructor Ebbe rocked up with the same vibes. You could tell they had a passion for surfing and they hyped us up and we were ready to hit the waves. They sorted us out with wetsuits and rashies, and tag teamed it going through safety briefings in a fun, informative manner. We were given a board then hiked with them in the wind down the beach, looking like idiots being blown around, to calmer waters. Even that was hilarious watching each other struggle against the wind and form trains to lug the boards to the other end of the beach. Once we were in the water, Corne, Leo, and Ebbe were super helpful, laughing at us making fools of ourselves and super encouraging when we managed to stand up on the boards. God knows how they managed to keep track of us 14 flailing around in the water, but they did an amazing job and we had the best time! Never expected 3 instructors to join us on this adventure, but so happy we got all three, as they were an absolute blast! We had the time of our lives and reckon the stormy weather made it waaaaay better. We never felt unsafe. Absolute value for money and will definitely be back. What a way to wrap up April. Thanks team🤙🤙 Only downside was that we didn't manage to take any pictures of the gnarly weather, but had nothing to do with the company, we were having too much fun in the water to remember to take a few snaps.

Andrew was great with my 2 daughters, they loved the experience and are now keen to do regular lessons to improve on their skills!

It is definitely worthwhile, my dad also took a lesson and by the end of the lesson he was able to stand up on the board and ride the wave inshore and that’s for a guy who has never surfed in his life. I was a bit more advanced than my dad and the instructor took me out back and I was able to catch my first unbroken wave, turn on the wave and I learnt to read the waves so I knew what waves to catch and which direction I should go in and in 2 hours I was able to do all this and more.

Thanks Aotearoa for a great afternoon. It is no small tasks keeping 5 teenage girls motivated on the water. You guys did way more...they learned heaps and had fun at the same time.
