Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Kids were keen to experience surfing as a change from boogie boarding so we decided last minute to book in some lessons with these guys. Decided to book a private lesson for dad and two children (8 and 12yrs) for 1.5hours and were so pleased! Gray and Carly were so friendly and relaxed and great with the kids. They give a lot of attention to safety in the waves, learning the skills but also having fun and everyone had a blast! Everything is provided - wetsuits and boards - and I was amazed how quickly everyone was able to get up on the board even in the shallower water. The instructors stand out in the water the entire time, pulling/pushing the boards, encouraging, teaching and working with each person’s own levels. In our case the 8yr old stayed in shallower water while the 12yr old and adult went further out to further their confidence and abilities. If you have any interest in surfing, I highly highly recommend these guys!
So good that the next day we booked in for a group lesson for the kids to get a bit more experience. A bit different experience having more people in the group and a few instructors to help but again - kids had so much fun and got so confident. Will be back!

My daughter (11) loved it !
The instructor was a great teacher and he made my daughter feel confident and safe in the water as she was nervous before we got there so thank you very much.
Everyone in the group all managed to pop up and catch waves so that was so awesome to watch from the shore.
The beach is stunning and the waves are perfect to learn on esp for kids as they are nice small rolling waves.
We went on easter weekend and it wasn't even that crowded so I loved that.
The price is also the cheapest I have seen in northland for kids and adults so that makes it possible for me to keep taking my daughter.
We are def booking in for regular lessons for my daughter and now Me haha :)
Thank you !

We were staying in Whangarei so were looking at surf school options in Tutukaka and Waipu. Turned out we had made the right choice as Waipu surf (while not big) is apparently more reliable than Tutukaka. My kids (13 & 15) both LOVED the group beginner lesson and want to go again. There were 9 in the group ages from around 10 years -adults everyone got up in a short space of time. The instructor was great with them and made sure everyone had the support they needed. While you book for a 1.5 hour lesson, plan for 2 hours from the start time as it takes a while for everyone to get kitted out in their wetsuits, boards and down to the beach. Excellent value for money and would definitely book in with these guys again.

Our son who is 8 years old was having his first lesson and had a great time. The coaches were amazing, allowing him space to learn but also knowing when he needed help. Great value for 1 1/2 hour lesson and would definitely recommend booking one if you you are in Waipu.

Bought lessons for my kids and their mates. Booking process was easy, comms were quick and good and instructions were clear. Instructor was ready and prepared when we arrived and the kids (all at differing stages of ability) had a fantastic lesson and everyone got up and surfed waves! Lots of smiles and happy kids. Would definitely do a lesson with them again.

Kids (14 &11) had a great time in their surf lesson with Grae. He is friendly &patient and gave them the confidence and skills to stand up and they both came back with big grins. Boards are comfortable and stable to ride and the wetsuits are also comfortable (&they're both fussy). Waipu has great beginner waves and I can highly recommend Learn2surf.

This was perfect for us. They were very flexible and individualized. I really only signed up to encourage my kids - I didn’t really think that I would be catching waves, but everyone was successful and everyone had fun. This was our first time ever trying surfing because we’ve never lived near an ocean, and we had a blast. Within about twenty minutes, my son was completely independent, riding waves with a big grin.
They provided everything, all we had to do was show up.

My daughters (8 and 11 years old) and I had a great surf lesson. They are very friendly and made it easy. They looked after the kids really well and still had time for the adults. We all managed to stand up a number of times and learnt a lot. We had a blast.
