Your instructor:

Toby's journey with surfing started when he was 4 years old with his father Nev, pushing him onto waves at Tay St beach. Originally from Otorohanga, Toby has spent every summer of his life over in Mount Maunganui surfing and hanging out with family and friends. Surfing at breaks all over the country and overseas along with working as a surf instructor at the Mount, have shaped Toby into an experienced surfer and an effective teacher. Toby is stoked to be running his own surf school and wishes to pass on his knowledge to anyone wanting to advance their surfing skills.​​​​
