Learning to Surf

Surf School

For many kids in Australia who grow up near the coast, surfing isn’t just a sport but is a rite of passage.  While surfing might look effortless when experienced riders glide across the waves, every surfer starts somewhere, and for kids who don’t grow up surfing, surf school is a great option.  Learning to surf not only offers hours of fun on the water, but it can also help kids develop self confidence, co-ordination, balance and strength.

Group lessons vs Private Coaching

Most surf schools offer both options.  Group lessons can be great for kids who thrive in team environments and enjoy the social aspect of learning alongside their peers.  Private lessons can offer more personalised attention for kids who would like to progress faster or who would prefer to have a one on one lesson.

Holiday Lessons

For many families who don’t live on the coast, holidays by the beach are the only times that surf lessons become an option. What starts off as a few surfing lessons on a family holiday, may even turn into a life long passion for surfing.

Surf schools give beginners the perfect introduction to structured lessons, and for many kids, that first successful ride back to the shore is an unforgettable experience.  So, whether you are planning a holiday by the beach or are considering introducing the kids to surfing as a hobby or a sport, have a look at what lessons are on offer.
