About Stoked Surf School Sumner

A surf school and merch shop on Ferry Road in Sumner, Christchurch, which sets itself apart with small groups and a coaching focus.

Lessons cover riding waves, reading conditions, wave selection and ocean safety. Adult group lessons, one-off lessons and family packages are offered, along with private sessions and surf contest feedback.
