Salt Spray Surf School

Learning to surf the waves is truly an exhilarating experience and there is no better place to learn than the white sands of Ohope Beach.
Everything is supplied from soft top surfboards, wetsuits, rash vests and sunscreen. When you have finished you’ll have gained a certificate and surfing knowledge to help you on your new surfing journey.

About Us

Salt Spray Surf School was established in 2003 by local surf legend Bevan (Beaver) Porter and his partner Yvonne. Ever since then, when the Salt Spray Gazebo was set up on the Beachside at West End, Ohope Beach, Salt Spray has brought Surf Stoke into the lives of countless amounts of grommets, young and old!
We operate out of the West End corner of the famous Ohope Beach. The Pohutukawa covered rocky point gives us a sheltered patch of ocean. The sheltered corner combined with the soft sand and shallow waters create gentle waves that, big or small, are easy to master the art of surfing on while still providing a thrill every time you stand up.

We have a huge range of Surfboards and Wetsuits to cater to all shapes, sizes and level of surfer. Whether you want to join our 7 week progressive program, have a full beginner lesson, rent a board or get some higher level coaching we have you covered! Come down and see the team under the gazebo at West End.
If you want to know more about our range of programs, dates and times please reach out to us through our website.
