Surfs up at Waipu Cove Holiday Camp
Operating from next to Waipu Cove Store the team is gradually working on establishing a surf shop, fully operational for next summer. For now though it’s all bout surfing, with loads of kids from Waipu and Bream Bay schools taking two-hour sessions. The kids have taken to it like the proverbial ‘duck to water’ says Greer. “But it’s not just for kids,” says Greer, whose two daughters are also surfies. “A lot of Aucklanders come for weekend lessons – it’s probably a more casual atmosphere up here. The forty and fifty-plus age group who ‘always wanted to learn to surf’ now have more time and have lost any inhibitions of maybe looking a bit silly, but all get up on their boards in their first lesson.” This is one activity here there’s no lack of enthusiasm from either teachers or pupils. It’s all about fun, confidence and water safety. The next big event will be a school holiday camp for surfing kids.
Starting with a supplied 9-foot epoxy board and wetsuit with the surf only metres away you’re good to go. Also in the pipeline are birthday packages which include a two hour lesson and also team-building weekends. Check it all out on www.waipucovesurf.co.nz
