MOUNTAINS TO SEA

We are stoked to be supporting Mountains to Sea NZ by offering discounted lessons for ongoing volunteers. Mountains to Sea is a small charitable organisation that delivers marine and freshwater education programmes to various schools and community groups across the greater Wellington Region, as well as organising restoration projects and community events.

LOCAL EMPLOYMENT

Wellington Surf Lessons supports the local community by providing employment for local surfers and have training programs each year to build instructor confidence. Surfing really connects and brings people together in the community so we are stoked to be able to bring this to everyone through our surf school. Some of the surf classes we offer include kids holiday and after school programs, women's programs, surfskate classes and surf camps.
