kids group surf lessons
surfing gives children a love of the ocean that stays with them for life
If your child loves the ocean and is a confident swimmer why not book one of our kids group surf lessons. We offer a unique and exciting experience just for kids. We provide a safe and friendly environment for children to gain the confidence and water skills they will require for a lifetime of fun at the beach.
Our specialist range of Skin Pups soft top surfboards have been designed and tested by Ben Skinner and Thunderbolt technology to provide the perfect progression route for young surfers through each stage of their surfing. We will have them up and shredding the waves in no time, feeling the buzz and catching the surf bug with the rest of us.

Booking conditions:
A parent or guardian will be required to remain within the beach vicinity for the duration of the lesson. The parent or guardian will be required to sign the child in and out of the surf lesson and to assist the child to change in and out of their wetsuit (because of child protection laws, our coaches are unable to help your child with this). Also a parent or guardian may be required to assist the child to carry their surfboard to and from the lesson.
We accept children aged 6 – 12 years for kids lessons. For insurance purposes we cannot accommodate children under 6 years of age, and we reserve the right to refuse booking of any child who we believe to be under 6 years of age. Children aged over 12 years will need to participate in our beginner or improver group lessons.
We require all of our students to have basic swimming abilities. If your child is a non-swimmer or not confident in the water then please discuss this with a member of our team BEFORE booking. We can arrange a special one-to-one kids lesson – please contact us to arrange.
Additional information:
We have wetsuits to fit children that wear age 6 to 12 clothing sizes. If your child wears clothing smaller than this, they are welcome to try our wetsuits on, but may need to provide their own. Please advise a member of staff when booking.
Children are provided with a wetsuit and a Skin Pups soft top surfboard which acts as a water buoyancy aid so life jackets are not required. Children’s lessons are conducted in under waist deep water, and all our coaches are qualified beach lifeguards and surf lifesavers.
Please arrive 20 minutes prior to the lesson.
Please bring – swimwear and towel. Wetsuits are provided, but children may wear their own if preferred.
