We sell the same high performance Vision Soft-boards we use in our surf school. These boards give you proper speed and maneuverability (No more bogging on turns), so perfect for beginner – intermediate level students. They are also very light and durable compared to most soft-tops, have a carry handle and are water proof, which means they won’t become super heavy over time.
We sell the same high quality C-Skins wetsuits we use in our surf school. These wetsuits not only feel amazing but they are designed to last. C-Skins have been making quality eco-friendly wetsuits for over 45 years and are made for colder climates, so perfect for Wellington. These are the best wetsuits we’ve come across and our students love them! (C-Skins wetsuits have received the highest reviews by the NZ Surf Journal read more..)
Surfskates are perfect for learning how to surf, it helps improve key elements of surfing technique. Once you master basics, you will find your surfing much easier once you enter the water, better balance, longer rider and more fun. Also when the surf is flat you’ll still be able to continue to improve out of the water. We have a great range of surf skates for you to choose from in our store!

Massive shout out to the AMAZING Wellington Surf Lessons for their Gurfer beginner surf lessons that ran on Saturday. The feedback from the lessons was that they were so professional, knowledgeable and FUN! Gurfers felt really supported to get into the waves and start popping up. Thanks so much Lisa and Stu for your expertise and awesomeness! We are so keen to keep these rolling!
"On behalf of Kapiti College, we would like to thank the team at Wellington Surf Lessons for giving our college kids an amazing surf experience over the last three days. Everyone enjoyed the lessons immensely and we were amazed to see every student successfully surfing within the first day. They captured some great photos on GoPro and also gave out some very nice looking certificates at the end to the event. I highly recommend you book your school with Wellington Surf Lessons".
The girls loved their day surfing! - We had a lot of positive feedback from the parents who stayed for the day and by the way the pics you sent to us are amazing and have been shared to all those who participated, and we've shared them to GirlGuidingNZ too. We also recommended you to the local Wellington leaders, so you may have some enquiries in the New Year.
Thanks guys for giving our international language students a great surfing experience! We have had a lot of great feedback from the students and will be booking them in again soon!

“Wow, what an experience. We were looking to do something different, exciting and exhilarating for our team event and catching some waves certainly ticked that box! We had minimal experience at the start but by the end we were the ones the beach was watching. Great informative training for Safety, Technique and those little tips to turn us pro. Top Marks for getting our team working together, laughing together and bringing us together as one!!”
First time me and my friend have done surfing and we had the most amazing experience! Stuart was patient and gave very clear instructions! Had so much fun and learnt enough for me to feel confident about going back out there!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Highly recommend taking lessons with this crew whether you're a complete beginner or wanting to improve technique and gain more confidence. Stuart and Lisa are great instructors, i have taken lessons in many places around the world and these guys are top of my list!
