 YOU have found the home of surf coaching in the Far North of New Zealand, where goin’ surfing is a way of life, where waves rule our world, and where an unforgettable surfing experience awaits YOU. |
 Hi, I’m Mark Shanks. I have been surfing and coaching in New Zealand and around the world for over 35 years! I know this sport inside out, and I have the experience and the skills to give YOU a unique, safe, and exciting surfing adventure. Whatever your ability, from the absolute beginner to the seasoned legend, I know how and where to find the waves for YOU. The air is fresh, the waves long and fast, the scenery green and empty, and YOU surf, travel and live in comfort in one of the most beautiful and isolated islands of the world - Aotearoa, ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’ - a place of brilliant sunshine, cleansing rain and mighty ocean swells. Magic waves pulse around our coasts constantly....there is always a surf somewhere and getting there is half the fun as we explore this wonderland in search of the perfect wave. We attempt to achieve a minimum of 4 hours of surfing each day. |
 My partner Fiona and I are your friendly hosts at the GoodVibrations Surf Camp, a luxurious, modern, hillside home overlooking Tauroa Point and 90 Mile Beach. Look out the window and check the world class surf, 7kms of peeling left hand pointbreak, and beach breaks all the way to the end of the island. With over 400kms of coastline bordering the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean, we will find the surf for YOU. |
