Our surf schedule is created fortnightly to coincide with the best time to surf in Raglan. These ideal conditions make it easier for our students to learn, and more importantly, to have fun.

Because the surf lesson times are always fluctuating with the tides, you are able to choose the lesson time that will best fit your itinerary.

Surfing provides a unique opportunity for students to gain confidence in the ocean while learning a new skill. Green Wave Raglan designs fun, educational and affordable surf programs for school groups all over New Zealand. Our lessons utilize surfing to educate students about health and fitness, environmental education and ocean science. With all of our lessons, safety is a top priority. Before entering the water, our experienced instructors go over topics like tides, rips and swell conditions.
