What to expect
Your child arrives and gets fitted with a rash guard, board shorts, and helmet. The instructor spends 90 minutes breaking down surfing fundamentals: how to lie on the board, paddle positioning, and the pop-up motion. You'll start in shallow water, learning to read waves and time your entry. As confidence builds, the coach pushes slightly deeper to catch unbroken waves. Expect a mix of explanation on the sand and repetition in the water. Most kids get vertical within the session. Afterwards, rinse off in the fresh-water shower and collect your gear from the locker.
Good to know
Bring your own swimwear; everything else is supplied. Lessons are confirmed the day before, so flexibility helps. Not suitable for children with spinal issues or those prone to motion sickness. The lesson works best at high or mid-tide; timing is set based on conditions.
