OUR TRAINERS
Piha Surf School only uses coaches who have extensive experience in Piha waters. Surf Coaching is a relatively new profession, with current International Certifications being a system whereby a person can become a qualified instructor after less than 5 years experience and be certified at a beach they have little or no knowledge of. All Piha Surf School instructors are First Aid trained, have lifeguard or lifesaving experience, and are extremely competent surfers who know Piha waters in all conditions. Piha Surf School instructors will take you to the best part of the beach on the best tide so that you get the most from your lesson.
