Hibiscus Surf School

Hibiscus Surf School is a family-oriented surf school driven by a small, passionate team of carefully selected instructors and the local community. We have been in operation for over 15 years, with specific expertise in the dynamic ocean and weather conditions from Main Beach to Tay Street, Mount Maunganui. 

Our overall goal is to provide the local community and visiting tourists with safe, reliable surf lessons. We take pride in our community involvement and are passionate about providing ocean experiences to those that might not otherwise have the opportunity. 

We run Adaptive Surf Days in collaboration with Parafed Bay of Plenty, as well as offer private adaptive surf lessons and free paddle board rentals to local disability carers. We also successfully run a mental health programme - Salty Sessions - supporting the mental wellbeing of rangatahi that might not otherwise have access to surf lessons and the incredible benefits of saltwater therapy.
