Authentic surf lessons with a New Zealand surf legend in a stunning natural environment. Perfect!
West Coast surf has been established at Tauranga bay on the beautiful West Coast of the South Island for the past 18 years.
This beach provides both first timers with a safe and invigorating environment to learn in, as well as providing some world class waves for the more experienced surfers. Mark Perana is the owner and coach of the business. Mark has been coaching surfing and snowboarding for beyond 25 years and it is truly his passion.
Mark is an ISA/SNZ level 2 coach and judge and an NZSBA snowboard examiner, also a past NZ team coach and National title holder. At West Coast Surf we offer a safe, fun filled, informative and often invigorating lesson for every level of surfer. Whether you are a complete beginner, all ready surfing and want to improve, or need some guidance with your advanced manoeuvres, Mark can help you out.
What others say:
"Hi, I just wanted to write to you to say THANK YOU! My Dad loved his lesson last month; I think it was the highlight of his trip to New Zealand. Mark was a great teacher and everything was just perfect – the rain even stopped just as they got in the water."
The 3 hour learn to surf package includes your lesson, board and wet-suit and some practice time.
Learned heaps and had fun.
第一次的冲浪体验就献给westport了! 很多人推荐这里是初学者的天堂,体验之后发现它真的是! 从一开始看着层层海浪有点恐惧,一直练习到后面是往大浪冲去! 教练人很风趣幽默,教学方式也很棒! 初体验的目标就是要成功站在浪板上,站上的那一刻心情真的是太爽了~~ 推荐推荐👍
Highly recommend to anyone who's learning to surf - Mark is a great teacher, and helped me improve a lot.

Lovely experience!
This was a really good introduction to surfing! The teachers are very experienced and try to teach you some proper surfing skills unlike many other companies. After that you head to the beach with your teacher and get some further advice and good help from them. The last hour you are free to practice to surf as you like.Weird they left us alone then and did not say goodbye properly though. Overall I would recommend it! Tauranga Bay is a beautiful and challenging but manageable place to try surfing for the first time.
