Private Surf Lesson

The private surf lesson is a good option for your child, especially if they are younger, as the surf coach can give them constant attention and assistance with their surfboard. The surf instructor can also run the private surf lesson to suit your child’s own individual ability. They get the complete safety, advice and encouragement from a surf instructor who is beside them the whole time.

We find that clients who choose private surf lessons tend to progress at a faster rate. We also offer discounts on additional private lessons or your child may be assessed as being capable of joining the group lesson structure.

The private surf lesson is also recommended for any child under 8 years of age. This is not only for safety reasons but also because the 7 ft surf boards can be difficult for the smaller kids to handle.

Group Surf Lesson

For your child to join a group lesson they must be 8 years or older, able to swim 50 metres and be able to handle a 7ft surf board, otherwise the private lesson is recommended. However a child under 8 may do a group lesson if a parent or accompanying adult is able to assist with carrying the board and safety at all times. Our group surf lessons are a great introduction to surfing where your child will learn about surf safety which is priceless knowledge that they will have for the rest of their lives.

Z
