Piha Surf Lessons in September
Updated: Nov 2
September is the light at the end of the wintery tunnel. Daylight saving kicks in, the days stretch out and Piha often lines up some great spring waves. It's the perfect time to learn, so you're ready to enjoy summer's waves.
Why learn to surf in September?
The beach is quieter than in summer, there are often fun waves for all levels, and you'll have the basics down before the summer crowds arrive.
Is the water cold at Piha in spring?
It's still fresh, but a good wetsuit makes a big difference, and every Piha Surf Academy lesson includes one along with a soft-top board.
What lessons are available?
Group surf lesson: $80 per person, ages 10+.
Private one-on-one lesson: $139, ages 8+.
Private group lesson: $120 per person, for 2 to 6 friends or family with your own instructor.
Board and wetsuit hire: $45.
Every lesson runs for 2 hours at 9am, 11am, 2pm or 4pm, with a soft-top board and wetsuit included, and lessons are by booking only.
What will I learn in my first spring lesson?
Beach and rip safety, how to paddle, the pop-up and how to catch white-water waves. Improving surfers can work on getting out the back, turning and reading waves.
