Adventure Tips
Prioritize safety with certified instructors
Always book with trained coaches who provide helmets and wetsuits for kids to ensure a secure surfing experience.
Wear a wetsuit even in summer
Atlantic waters can feel cool year-round, so a wetsuit helps maintain comfort and prolongs time in the water.
Arrive early to avoid crowds
Mornings provide calmer waves and less busy beaches, creating an ideal setting for focused lessons with minimal distractions.
Listen carefully to ocean-condition briefings
Understanding tides and currents helps kids navigate the water safely and maximize their time catching waves.
