Catch some waves in Raglan with a group surf lesson. This coastal town with its magnificent black sand coastline is an absolute surfing mecca. Raglan offers world-class surf breaks and some of the most consistent surf in the country. With a bit of help from your instructor you’ll be riding the waves like a pro in no time.
The group lesson starts at Ngarunui Beach car park 5 minutes outside Raglan. Raglan Surf School chose to have a maximum ratio of 6 students to 1 instructor, this means they’re able to offer you plenty of personalised tips.
First, you’ll learn the basics of surfing and surfboard vocabulary, stance, posture and a proper dose of water and beach safety.
You’ll be fully prepared before you hit the surf! You’ll get custom fitted for a wetsuit and surfboard at the iconic Red fire-truck and wooden trailer, located at Ngarunui Beach car park.
After a quick regroup on the sand you’ll have your instructor right there beside you in the surf ready to help you choose your waves, help line your board up and even push you into waves. The goal is to have you paddling into waves yourself by the end of the lesson.
Why is this Chuffed Worthy?
Raglan is known globally for its iconic breaks & surf culture. Less known is that it’s also home to NZ’s original surf school, and barely known by anyone, Raglan Surf School were one of Chuffed’s very first partner businesses! We have heard nothing but rave reviews from our customers who have surfed with these guys, so don’t hesitate about this one for any reason!
