Piha Surf School

"Phil was amazing ❤️ we loved every minute. We had a group of six with little to no experience and he made it all clear and easy for us to actually surf some waves! At some points the waves did get a little daunting, but knowing that an experienced surfer like Phil was there made it all that better."

"I took one group class with Zen and one with Phil. They were both so great ! First they remind you the good mouvements and safety basis so you fell very comfortable and safe. Then, they were both very good teacher and very patient ! I really enjoyed my time with them and felt that I improved ! Cheers to both of you !"

"Phil was absolutely wonderful. We booked in with him as it was my sister's dream to surf while she visited me here in NZ. Not only did Phil give us instructions, but he actually came in the water to make sure we got up on the board - we were properly surfing in no time. Then Phil drove us to where a friend was so we could meet with her briefly. Excellent customer service above & beyond, excellent instructions - oh and he gave us a peach from his very own peach tree and taught us about the town of Piha. Thank you Phil - 10/10 recommend."

"My husband and I booked a beginner’s lesson with Phil and had the BEST time. I was expecting to actually catch a wave once or twice, but Phil had us up on our boards right from the start! If you’re looking for surf lessons in the area, don’t go anywhere else!"

"Thanks heaps again for the lesson Phil! Phil was a fantastic instructor. His instructions in regards to technique & safety were very clear. The thing we really loved about Phil is his passion and enthusiasm for Piha, surfing and being a really good coach/instructor. It made us feel good about ourselves and confident in our abilities. Would highly recommend."
