Skilled surfers sometimes use surfboards to ride the bigger waves and hang about in the surf for an extensive longer period. With beginner surfboard, they can also maneuver through huge waves and quite competently walk on the surfboard as well as move with the wave better. Making a considered decision while purchasing the surfboard could be very beneficial in the long run. Surfing is fun during summers so a better idea would be to look for surfing destinations where the sun is shining brightly.

Crowd is another important factor that you should look out for if that really matters to you. Some surfing destinations are so popular that they are crowded most part of the year and therefore you should avoid being at such surfing destinations. So, if you are looking for beginner surfboard then contact Aotearoa Surf School. A lot of surf schools sell your basic ‘surf experience’. Instead of this, we aim to teach you how to surf by yourself. We give YOU the confidence and knowledge to be surfing on your own including ocean safety, understanding conditions, understanding your board, how to read the waves, we EMPOWER you.
