How to Sign Up

Due to overwhelming interest, our free surf lessons are now fully booked!

Have you bought a surfboard from US?

We have reserved a few spots in our remaining free surf lessons for people who have bought surfboards from Underground and would like to attend. Just email lessons@undergroundsurf.co.nz and we will share with you a link to register.

Surfboard Hire

If you do not have your own surfboard you are welcome to hire one from us. Surfboard hire costs $10 per lesson per surfer and needs to be paid in cash on the day. 

Want to hire one? Just let us know in the registration form when you sign up.

Important to Know

  • Kids under 10 years old MUST have a parent/guardian with them in the water
  • The lessons run regardless of the weather unless the beach is closed  
  • We can’t provide wetsuits, so if you would like to wear one be sure to bring your own. Our store will be closed so make plans early if needed
  • This is a fun community-run program organised by volunteers who are giving up their free time. Please respect that and the culture of the day
  • We’ll email you the Thursday before a lesson to confirm and share any important updates

What to Bring

  • Your surfboard, if you are bringing your own
  • A wetsuit, if you require one
  • A drink (surfing is thirsty work)
  • A towel
  • If you currently attend a surf lifesaving club please bring your hi-vis vest

Want a Private Lesson?

We also offer private surf lessons at Orewa Beach that are ideal for beginners.

A private 1 hour lesson cost $80 for up to 2 people – this includes surfboard hire. You can also hire a wetsuit for an extra $20pp.

To book a private lesson please email nick@undergroundsurf.co.nz or call 0212891660 and we’ll find a day and time that suits.
