These extra special lessons are designed with child participation in mind. These lessons provide them with an opportunity to learn beach safety, sea awareness skill, techniques for surfing, paddle-boarding and kayaking, All in a safe and fun way!

Lessons are held in small groups of no more than 16 students, for maximum safety. Surfing takes place in shallow water, no deeper than the child’s waist depth, and we work with an absolute maximum of 1:8 (instructor to student) ratio. This ensures the club is safe and gives each child an equal opportunity to hone their skills with the instructor!

We always start the session with a beach lesson and the rest of the lesson is in the water. We find this is the perfect amount of time to maintain their attention before they start getting too tired!

Suitable surfing and safety equipment is provided to all students (soft surfboard, paddleboard, kayaks and a childrens wetsuit) with supervision at all times from our qualified surf instructors.

If your child loves the water, is a confident swimmer and would like to join our Kids Surf Club use the ‘book now’ button or call 01723 377565 to talk to us.

Please remember that safety is always our No1 priority and these sessions may be cancelled at short notice if it is to dangerous to go out onto the water.
