Surf Lessons & Hire

Want to learn to surf in Gisborne?

Gisborne has some of the best surfing beaches in New Zealand. Our team of experienced coaches have excellent local knowledge to keep you safe and ensure you have a great surfing experience!

Our lessons include the surfboard & wetsuit. In these two hour lessons we introduce safety, etiquette, surfboard positioning, standing up & wave riding techniques. Our aim is to get you out there on a wave and have some fun!

We are open for surf lessons and rentals all year round. We offer group lessons, private lessons, advanced lessons and run a popular groms club for advancing groms during term time.

Our group lessons typically begin at our New Wave store where we fit you out with the best size wetsuit & surfboard, arrange your payment & safety info, then you meet the coach and travel to the best surf spot on the day. Usually town ‘Pipe’ or Roberts Rd but occasionally we travel over to the coast at Northern Makorori. If you want a lesson outside of business hours or on a public holiday we can easily arrange this for you.

Join the crew from New Wave Surf school and experience the thrill of surfing!
