YourWave is a surf experience operator based in Otago, New Zealand, offering sessions on a versatile standing wave. The company runs scheduled public sessions and private hires designed for different group sizes and skill levels. Public sessions accommodate groups of 5–8 riders and provide one hour of guided wave time, delivering an accessible, social surfing experience for individuals and small groups. Private Hire Waves allow exclusive use of the wave for groups of up to 12, ideal for friends, celebrations, corporate outings, and team-building, enabling uninterrupted group surfing and shared memories.
Sessions focus on hands-on wave time rather than lengthy instruction; riders are encouraged to join a session that matches their confidence and ability. Equipment and safety briefings are provided as part of the booking to ensure participants understand wave etiquette and basic safety procedures. Bookings are required to secure a spot for a chosen session and to organize group arrangements.
YourWave’s Otago location offers a controlled standing-wave environment that complements outdoor surf opportunities in the region, giving locals and visitors a reliable option for consistent wave practice. The business emphasizes inclusivity and group enjoyment, promoting camaraderie among riders during public sessions and concentrated private experiences.
Reviews and bookings are available through The Adventure Collective listing, where trip details, schedules, and booking options are published. This transparency helps prospective guests compare session types and select the best fit for their group size and surfing goals. Session schedules are published on The Adventure Collective and updated regularly to reflect current availability.
