LONGBOARD FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
ADVANCED BEGINNER +
DURATION: 4-WEEKS

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Having had a bunch of success stories from our intensive two-day Longboard Course, we wanted to offer a stripped down version, something similar, but in a weekly program format.
...and here it is!
The Longboard Foundations Program takes students on a journey uncovering the key differences between Shortboarding & Longboarding (there are many), and teaching you through our tried and tested curriculum to build up the skills to cross-step & noseride.
All with style, grace & flow.
Each week builds upon the skills learnt in the past, honing you in on the goal of walking up the board & hanging five for the first time.
During the program you'll meet other likeminded Loggers in the area, and share on the journey together.
Meeting friends, sharing good times, and learning a bunch of new skills in the process.
HIGHLIGHTS
The program is run over four weeks, with each session split into three components::
PRE-SESSION THEORY
This is where we go into detail learning new skills, ready for application in the water. We follow a roadmap with pre-defined outcomes to get you to your destination as fast as possible in the time you have with us.
IN-WATER TUITION
You’ll have assistance in-water should you need it at all times. Our trained instructors will be on hand to provide real-time feedback, offer advice, and showcase demonstrations.
POST-SURF ANALYSIS
After each session we come together for a session overview, with brainstorming and plenty of individualised feedback for things to work on before the next session.
We rinse and repeat this format over the duration of the program.

If you've got your own gear, by all means bring that along, or if you'd rather use ours we have a tonne of wetsuits and surfboards you can use free of charge for the duration of the weekend.
We don't have hard-top longboards in-house, but we do have 9ft Soft-top surfboards if needed.
FAQ'S
This program is for people that already have the surfing basics under control.
That means you're able to:
- Catch whitewater waves unassisted.
- Beginning to catch small unbroken waves unassisted.
- Be able to pop to your feet and ride waves to the beach consistently.
We'd love to say we can guarantee perfect waves every week, however the truth is, that's not possible.
We're at the whim of mother nature, and we'll embrace it in all its forms.
Furthermore, the way the content is structured, the quality of the waves effects us little in the learning process.
We make the most of whatever conditions we have on offer.
Come wind, rain, hail or shine, we're ready to go.
Surfing is a sport that embraces all the elements, and we do too.
If the beaches are closed and conditions are too dangerous for us to hold the session we'll be forced to postpone.
We'll make this call no later than 6 hours before the session start time.
Postponed sessions will be added to the week following the program finish date.
The exact numbers of the group will vary, however we have a maximum group size of eight people.

Loz and Rowan are great instructors and the weekend course was really helpful as well as good fun. They had keen insight into what improvements were needed and offered excellent tips to assist me become a better surfer. The photo sessions were a big help, too. If you want to level up your surfing then I recommend you take the course.

Hands down the best weekend surfing I've had ever. Loz and Rowan are incredibly talented coaches, and their combo of land and water based instruction saw me progress more in two days than I have in years. I really can't recommend them highly enough.

Just completed a Longboarding course with House of Surf over the weekend and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. Rowan and Roz spent both days with us teaching us in great detail all the foundations of longboarding. With their care, great balance of theory and practice in the water, and their catered adjustments and advice, we all made very visible progress within just 48 hours. I would recommend their services for anyone with different skill levels and goals for surfing. I can't wait to be back in Tauranga to visit again.

I can highly recommend the 2 day longboard boost course through House of Surf!!
I had the b set weekend and even got my cross stepping down - wtf?! Rowan nd Loz (hope I’m spelling correctly) are incredible instructors and run courses in Auckland and the Mt. Your surfing will absolutely improve and you’ll also meet a bunch of amazing people.

Had a beautiful weekend away in the Mount with the House of Surf on the longboarder foundations course.
I’ve done 2 of their weekend boost courses now and they’re jam packed full of info dedicated to getting more women in the water… well worth a get away to the mount if you want to up-skill… Couldn’t recommend these legends more.
