Surfers arriving from overseas are amazed at the surfing opportunities to be found in New Zealand. The combination of a small country that’s easy to get around and the lengthy coastline means it’s surprisingly easy to find the exact conditions you want to surf on a particular day. This explains why international surf legends like Andy Irons, Sunny Garcia, Mark Ochilupo, and Joel Parkinson all came to compete against New Zealand’s best at the renowned west coast beaches of Raglan and Piha.

In some places you can jump easily from the west to the east coast (and vice-versa) to make the most of the conditions. You can even choose northern sub-tropical or southern sub-Antarctic waters and everything in between.

Surfing is a great way to enjoy New Zealand experience and a wonderful way to meet local New Zealander’s. Respecting the local’s connection with their favourite surf locations may even result in some valuable local knowledge. Lessons and board hire, custom surf tours and heli tours are all available at main surfing spots from Northland to Southland.
