Piha Surf Academy

Excellent experience.I’ve never surfed before in my life and the instructors were absolutely fabulous and also very patient. The team are lovely and the lessons are suitable for all ages.By the end of the lesson, I was able to stand on my board and surf the (small) waves.My Parnter and I got our vouchers from GrabOne - Such a good value for money!I would highly recommend the Piha Surf Academy for anyone who hasn’t tried surfing and also it is a must do activity if you are on holidays visiting in the area.There’s a lovely little restaurant just a few steps away to grab food straight after too.Thanks again, we’ll definitely be back!!Leanne & Will.

these people filmed me as i was finishing my surfing lesson and asked asked me inappropriate and leading questions about my time out in the water. i felt really uncomfortable and unsafe around them and it kind of killed my buzz after a great surf

I didnt end up getting to surf with piha surf academy because of a health issue but Chelsea was super helpful and kind in helping me coordinate things and then to get a refund since I wasnt able to go. I hope to be able to go another time. Thanks for everything!

Had a great three days surfing south Piha with Maddie.Really clear instructions and feedback. I felt like I was progressing quickly between sessions.By the last day I was surfing out the back. Nearly got there with my pop up but abit more practice at homeThanks againJames Goldston-Morris (Australia)

We had the most fun with my friends learning to surf with Piha Surf Academy. The instructors were great and the lady who booked us in was very friendly and patience with our English. I will definitely come back to Piha for more waves!!

I just wanted to say a big thanks for this morning. I loved the small group of 3, the slow start and Felipe was wonderful with my 9yo. He made her feel really secure and didn't play into her fears. Encouraging but not pushy and when she packed up early he bodysurfed with her instead. Hero! And she had a great time, was all smiles and can't wait to return. ☺️

I have been surfing for 5 years and I was searching for private training to take my surfing to the next level. I found Piha Surf Academy and its great packages. I booked the 5 lessons package and I did my last lesson last week. The instructor was constantly giving me feedback in the water which help me correct old bad habits I was dragging throughout the years. I highly recommend Piha Surf Academy for beginners and intermediate surfers.

I took a progressive package last year with Piha Surf Academy and had a great time! Their instructors are very patient and got me surfing green waves by the end of the package! Big shout out to Parker for the time in the water and Chelsea for being so helpful with organising my difficult lesson times!

I bought a 3 back of private lessons but loved it so much I fit one more lesson into my trip! Alex, my instructor was very helpful. We started each lesson going over safety which helped with my confidence in the water. I would definitely do again!
