Riding the Waves of Change

Our Purpose

Pacific Road NZ is more than just a sports company; it's a community committed to developing the next generation of athletes in surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. With roots in the historic Eastside Surf Snow Skate, we proudly continue a legacy of empowering young riders as they pursue excellence in their chosen disciplines.

What started with surf and skate lessons has evolved into a community-driven initiative focused on personal growth, mental health, and fostering a love for adventure. We’re proud to offer more than just training in surf, skate, and snowboarding—we’re creating opportunities for all children to discover their talents and explore new passions. Whether you're a grassroots beginner or an aspiring athlete, our mission is to help people find their purpose and unlock their potential.
