"We have been working with Doug and his team for about 6 years now and the girls have loved the opportunity to enjoy surfing in a relaxed yet professional manner. Doug's enthusiasm for surfing combined with very competitive rates has meant we have sometimes had in excess of 70 girls opting to learn to surf on Wednesdays! It's been a great relationship and we'll keep coming back for many more years to come!"

"Christchurch Boys High School was attracted to Dougie and his team at Pacific Surfari because of their friendliness and professionalism. Over the last 2 years their team of enthusiastic and knowledgeable surfers has sparked an interest in not only the students of the school but also the staff in the wiles of riding the waves. They are well set up with plenty of gear suitable for all abilities. A great team, we will be back."

"We have used Doug and Pacific Surfari for our surfing program for over 6 years now. Doug's enthusiasm and expertise has inspired many Cashmere High students to learn to surf, and the knowledge he and his team pass on fuels the fire for many a surfing success story. This combined with the professionalism of Pacific Surfari has made them a great recreational option for our school to offer."
