Water Safety & Surf Education
Discover confidence in the water through practical, hands-on learning.
At Waves 4 Wellness, our Water Safety and Surf Education programmes are designed to empower people of all ages with the skills, awareness, and confidence to enjoy the ocean safely. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to build on your surf and water knowledge, our sessions focus on real-world safety, ocean conditions, teamwork, and respect for Tangaroa. Led by experienced surf lifeguard Andy Callinicos, every lesson is grounded in safety, connection, and fun.
Who Benefits?Everyone.
Catering to all areas of society, extending to schools, rangatahi, young adults and beyond. The aim is to provide wellness (Mental and Physical) through surfing and water education. The lack of current accessibility around this inhibits the ability to promote well-being through ocean awareness and the connection with Tangaroa. Sharing and promoting a deeper connection to the ocean will be a key deciding factor for participants.
Bringing a Waves 4 Wellness programme to your school or workplace is a powerful way to promote safety, wellbeing, and connection. These sessions go beyond basic water skills, building confidence, teamwork, and resilience through immersive, ocean-based learning.
Whether you’re supporting students to grow their self-belief or offering your staff a meaningful, active wellbeing experience, our tailored programmes create lasting impact both in and out of the water.
