With boards and wetsuits provided, schools don’t need to worry about equipment, making the activity simple to organise and accessible to all students.
Surfing as a group activity encourages teamwork and peer support, with students learning not only from instructors but also from each other. The lessons build water confidence, resilience, and coordination while giving students the chance to enjoy one of New Zealand’s most iconic coastal sports.
Located in Mount Maunganui, the school benefits from a setting renowned for its surf culture and natural beauty. This makes the experience memorable for students, combining outdoor adventure with practical learning in the ocean environment.
