About Us

» We are located at Baylys Beach on the west coast of Northland, New Zealand, a 10 minute drive from the town of Dargaville and 2½ hours drive north of Auckland. The business is operated by Aaron Sherman, a lifelong surfer and qualified Surfing New Zealand coach.
 
» Beginner lessons begin with a safety briefing regarding the dangers of surfing and current safety guidelines, followed by technique instruction that covers surfing basics such as stretches, paddling, stances and standing. Finally, you and your coach take to the water to catch your first wave, which you can have filmed to record the moment!

» Lesson Costs include soft 'learner board' hire that is specially designed for those learning to surf. Boards and wetsuits are available for hire at $40.00 per half-day.
