This event is designed and run by Gisborne Boardriders Club to increase and improve surfing participation in our district. Our professional surf coaches and their young aspiring assistant coaches will ensure a quality program with the highest health and safety standards.

In our first session, our coaching team will evenly distribute our young Rippers into three different levels:

Turtles – Catching waves
New to surfing and learning the basics of sea and surfboard orientation. Safety is a key factor. We teach you the basics and show you can put it into practice in the water.

Dolphins – Up and riding
Let the adventure begin! This is all about standing up in control and riding the waves.

Sharks– Improving Techniques
You are standing up most of the time, getting plenty of waves, now it’s time to steer and maneuver your board properly. It’s all about controlling your board, moving side-to-side and hunting unbroken (green) waves.

All 6-year-old kids must have a parent/adult present in the water.less
