Start them young
Teaching children to surf is what we love to do most.
Our youth programs teach the love of surfing, of course, along with crucial water safety lessons, stronger swimming techniques, body awareness and control and confidence in and out of the water. Your kids will finish their surfing week, poised to tackle harder challenges and confident in their ability to do so.
A kids lesson is one coach to one child for 60 minutes. The coach carries the board, picks the waves, and stays within arm's reach the whole time. Lessons start in the white water on a soft board and move out only when the child is ready.
Parents book and sign, then watch from the sand. You don't need to be in the water. If you want to surf too, book a semi-private — you and your child share one coach — or a group, which comes with two coaches, so everyone is in the water at the same time.
Rash guard, board and sunscreen are provided.

Questions
What age can kids take surf lessons?
Kids private lessons are for children 13 and under, one coach to one child. Older kids book a regular private or join a semi-private with a parent or sibling.
Do I need to get in the water with my child?
No — you book and sign, then watch from the beach. Your child has their coach's full attention for the whole lesson. If you want to surf too, book a semi-private — you and your child share one coach — or a group lesson, which comes with two coaches, so you're in the water at the same time.
How do you keep kids safe in the water?
Every kids lesson is one coach to one child, and the coach stays within arm's reach the whole time. The coach carries the board and picks the waves. Lessons start in the white water on a soft board and move out only when your child is ready.

Sixty minutes with their own coach, $100 with the 13% tax included. The board, rash guard and sunscreen are ours; your child brings a swimsuit, a towel and water.
