Surf Sistas - Women's Only Surf Program

Learn to surf, build ocean confidence and have fun with the girls! Get out on the water consistently and learn to surf with our Surf Sistas girls-only surfing club. All equipment provided by Aotearoa Surf.

Learn to surf, refine your techniques, build ocean confidence and have HEAPS of fun!

The Surf Sistas Club is an ongoing weekly surfing program designed to help women of all ages and skill levels learn to surf, improve their surfing skills and build more confidence in the ocean. Regular attendees will be able to track their improvement on a week-by-week and month-by-month basis.

Our Sistas are broken up into 2 groups; beginner and intermediate surfers, to ensure you are getting the most out of your sessions.

Booking can be done in groups of 4 weeks at a time, however, we encourage each Surf Sista to continue on with the program beyond their first 4 weeks in order to master their surfing!

What’s Included:
- ALL equipment; surfboards and wetsuits (or bring your own)
- Up to 3 dedicated, qualified and experienced coaches
- The day before we will email you letting you know what beach we will be meeting at (Te Arai Point or Forestry beach) based on the conditions
