The instructors are great with their teaching style.
We had Dan and he was very clear with what to do and made the lesson enjoyable.
Would definitely recommend booking with these guys for anyone who has never surfed before!
JAMIE TEASDALE/
WELLINGTON
2 friends and I went had a group surf lesson with Dan.
He was incredible! It was our first time surfing & we were all nervous but he had us standing up riding waves in no time.
Can't recommend Dan or House of Surf high enough!!
WHY LEARN TO SURF IN MOUNT MAUNGANUI?
Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, is one of the best places to learn to surf in New Zealand, if not the best.
And here's why...
Because of the big continental shelf off the East coast, the waves in the Mount are mellow, slow moving and perfect for learning to surf.
With the open beaches stretching from Mauao, all the way to Makatu, there are plenty of spots to surf with crowds never being a problem.
SURF CONDITIONS & WHAT TO EXPECT
The surf season runs from October to May. During this time, the waves are consistently within the 1-3 foot range. Whats more, the prevailing winds during the surf season are offshore (this makes the waves clean and easy to ride), which is perfect for surf lessons.
Plus, with Tauranga receiving more sunshine each year than anywhere else in NZ, and the water temperature during the summer months ranges between 19°C and 22°C (66 to 72°F) too, make this the most ideal location to learn to surf in NZ.
SAFE AND SECURE
Not only are the beaches in Mount Maunganui perfect for learning to surf, but they're also regularly patrolled by lifeguards too.
And unlike many other beaches, here in the Mount you never have to worry about flash rips as the beaches are very flat, and virtually rip free - perfect for learning to surf!

The House of Surf HQ is situated: Opposite number 27 Marine Parade, Mount Maunganui.
Here's the Google Maps link for directions:
All the equipment you need for surfing is provided! Some suggestions include casual swimwear to wear under your wetsuit, a towel, and plenty of water and sunscreen (we have both if you forget).
We ask that you show up 15 minutes before lesson start time. This is to fit you with the wetsuit, sign waivers and meet your instructor. This time allows you to get the routine stuff out of the way, so we can get you in the water shredding sooner!
Your activity will run rain or shine.
Yes, we really do embrace the elements here at the House of Surf.
We have five different levels of lessons from first time catching a wave to outback and trimming a six footer.
Our lesson times vary every day depending upon the tides. Check our timetable here.
We will only take you in conditions that are safe for learning. Most of our beginner lessons start in chest deep water. We will monitor the waves before and during your lesson and if at any time we see that it’s approaching too big, we will get everyone out of the water and reschedule.
Safety and fun are our highest priorities, if at any time you do not feel safe or are not having fun, we will stop and see what we can do!
