Surf Programs (Kids)

Whether you are a beginner, experienced beginner or an intermediate surfer, our programs are designed to accelerate your surf progression, give you more personalised feedback and provide expert advice.

We conduct children’s surf programs (6-12 years). Our programs are conducted with x3 2-hour sessions. Scheduling depends on conditions and availability. Before you sign your child up to start your 6 hour program it is important for you to identify what level surfer they are. If your child has never tried surfing before we recommend that they do a kids beginner surf lesson’( link to kids beginner surf lesson)  first so that they have a few basic skills and so that you are sure that they will want to complete the program.

If you want to sign your child up for one of our programs, we would assume that you have at least “had a go” and you are confident that they want to commit.

Before they start we would expect that they :

• Minimum age 6 years Maximum 12
• Stand on a board using the 4 or 2 step method unassisted by the instructor
• Ride a broken wave in the white wash ( even just for a few seconds) unassisted by the instructor
• Be able to identify the parts of the surf board
• Basic surf safety
• Recognize hazards in the surf such as rips
• Be able to swim at least 25 metres in the surf and tread water 
  ** all of these things are covered in the kids introduction to surf lesson

Each day of the 3 lesson program will cover some theory on the beach and of course plenty of time in the water. By the end of each lesson you will have to have reached certain goals so that you can progress to the next level.
