WHO WE ARE
With over 30 years combined experience in surf coaching, we want to bring our expertise together and create an energised, skill based Holiday Camp for children to progress their surf and skate skills in a safe and encouraging environment.
WHERE ARE WE BASED
We will meet at 8:30am at our trailer at the beach access opposite Tay Street, Mt Maunganui. This is a chance to welcome the kids, introduce our coaches and give a brief run down of the plan for the day. We've chosen Tay Street having explored the coast for a safe, consistent and well equipped surf spot with public amenities. With ample parking, a shower/changing room and a grassy area with public benches over looking the surf, its proved to be a wonderful spot to run our sessions. Not to mention the awesome cafes nearby!
We will start each morning with a Skate Session, ideally outside making the most of the NEW local skate park in the Mount. Alternatively we have the Mount Sports Centre booked incase of poor weather. Following our Skate Session and Morning Tea we will carry out a Surf Session somewhere along the coast wherever is best suited for the groups ability.
A third activity towards the end of the day is often a second surf or skate session if the kids are up for it. However, we also have the option of venturing to the wharf at pilot bay and do wharf jumping which really helps build upon the groups water confidence. On a rainy day, we will tend to hit the Mount Hot Pools or Baywave.
Pick up will be at the same location as the morning drop off, the beach access opposite Tay Street at 2pm.

No equipment is provided unless you have organised this with us prior to the sessions.
WHY CHOOSE US
From 8:30am, your children will be immersed in a world of surfing and skateboarding. This is an opportunity for your child to partake in an affordable Surf and Skate development programme.
From a surf session with highly experienced coaches, land based games to warm up, water safety and lifesaving skills and then an outdoor skate session at a local skate park (inside if conditions don't allow). They will leave with new skills, new friends and a fresh stoke for both sports.
Don't just take our word for it, check out what previous parents have to say!
I couldn't recommend Average Joe's highly enough. We have done their holiday program and 1 on 1 lessons for surfing and skating, and have learnt so much. All of the coaches are awesome, and the kids have the best time. Keep up the good work Joe and team.
