Tour Overview

Explore the dynamic waves of Te Arai, acclaimed as Auckland's number one East Coast surf beach, through a comprehensive two-hour surf lesson tailored to elevate your skills in the water. Known for its inviting blue waters and soft, white sands, Te Arai offers a welcoming contrast to Auckland’s rugged West Coast beaches, presenting gentler waves that are ideal for beginners and those looking to refine their technique.

During your session, expert coaches, well-versed in the nuances of surf safety and technique, will guide you through the essentials of surfing. Starting with ocean awareness and surf safety, you will learn how to position yourself on the board, the art of paddling, and mastering the critical timing for take-offs. One of the highlights of the lesson is learning the 'popup,',a fundamental move where you transition from lying on the board to standing, ready to ride the waves.

As you practice these new skills, your coach will provide personalized feedback, ensuring you feel confident and supported, regardless of your surfing level. Whether it’s your first time on a board or you're looking to enhance your existing skills, the lesson is structured to provide a safe, enjoyable, and educational environment.

By the end of your experience at Te Arai, not only will you have embraced the thrill of riding waves, but you'll also carry with you a deeper appreciation for the sport of surfing, backed by the knowledge and techniques imparted by your coaches. This hands-on lesson is a perfect way to connect with the ocean and enjoy a day of physical activity and fun.
