School Holiday Surf Program at Mangawhai Heads | $199

School Holiday Surf Program

Two days of surfing, games and water confidence to keep the kids busy and grinning through the holidays at Mangawhai Heads.

School holidays sorted. Our two day program keeps kids active, off the screens and learning a skill they will love, all on one of Northland's best beginner beaches.

Over two days your child will build real water confidence and surf skills in a safe, encouraging environment. Our qualified instructors mix coaching with beach games and plenty of time riding waves, so the learning never feels like hard work.

What's included

Both days of coaching, all surf equipment and a wetsuit are included. Kids just need their togs, a towel, sunblock, a hat, a drink bottle and some lunch and snacks for the day.

What they'll learn

Beach safety and how to read the surf, paddling and popping up, catching whitewater waves and, for the more confident, turning and trimming along the wave. Every child is coached at their own level and pace.

Who it's for

Our base is at 147 Wintle Street, a short walk from the beach with good parking, toilets, showers and changing facilities right there. Booking ahead is the best way to make sure we have your size and gear ready to go.

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need surfing experience?

Not at all. The program welcomes complete beginners through to kids who have surfed before, and everyone is coached at their own level.

Does my child need to be a strong swimmer?

Beginners spend their time in waist deep water where they can stand, with instructors close by. Basic water confidence helps, but they do not need to be a strong swimmer to take part.

What should they bring each day?

Togs to wear under the wetsuit, a towel, sunblock, a hat, a drink bottle and lunch plus snacks. We provide the surfboard and wetsuit.

What are the timings?

Exact start and finish times for each holiday block are shown on the booking calendar above when you select your dates.
