What sets George’s academy apart is the personal touch. Every surf course is tailored to fit the needs and skills of each student, so everyone can learn at their own pace. Plus, with some of the smallest student-to-instructor ratios around, each person gets plenty of attention and guidance.

The coaches at Mount Maunganui Surf Academy are top-notch, with the highest qualifications and lots of experience. They cater to all ages and skill levels, offering one-on-one lessons, family sessions (if the kids are over 7), and special lessons just for children.

For those who've got the basics down and want to hit the waves on their own, George’s academy also rents out boards at great rates, giving surfers the freedom to surf when they choose.

After a day of surfing, George recommends checking out Astrolabe Brew Bar, a local favourite. They serve finely brewed beer and tasty food including big burgers, gourmet pizzas, salads, steaks, and seafood – the perfect spot to relax after surfing.
