Cancellation Policy
Some of our Surf Sistas miss a session then ask if they can make it upon another day.
We are limited to Instructor to Surfers ratio with all lessons and programs and Surf Sistas is only bookable in blocks... meaning we are unable to have a Surf Sista join in on another day in another program if we are full.
Please try your hardest to make every session - all you have to do is show up, we will do the rest! Even if you miss a lesson Surf Sistas is excellent value, dont worry get involved!
We hope you understand, these are Surfing NZ & Safety regulations on ratios that we must adhere to.
Your activity will run rain or shine. We ensure everyone is satisfied with their experience.
If we need to cancel our activity for any reason (which does not happen) we will re-book you free of charge or offer you a full refund.
You get a refund or no charge to change your booking start date if you give us 14 days notice from when your program starts.
You must call to re-book prior to your program commencing. Re-booking into a new start date with less than 14 days notice is $35 charge / surfer. Cancelling your booking with less than 14 days notice warrants no refund.
