Our Approach

At Wellington Surf Co. we live and breathe our brands everyday in our surf school, which gives our students the re-assurance that the equipment they are buying has been tried and tested by us everyday during our classes.

We also guide our students on the right equipment to buy during our surf classes based on their current ability and goals. We welcome you to trial run some of our equipment at your lesson or by doing a practice rental, to make sure you are happy with it.

Our Brands

At Wellington Surf Co we have tested out different brands and products within our surf school. Being keen environmentalists we have also chosen the most eco-friendly products.

Ongoing Support

We offer ongoing support to our clients after they have purchased our products.
