Can my young child (under 13) take a surf lesson?

Yes, children under 13 can certainly take a surfing lesson. We require that they take either a private lesson (one-on-one) or a Family Lesson with at least one parent or guardian joining them in the water. Our Family Lesson was designed as a more affordable option for families with young children while still maintaining the highest level of safety. In order to join a Family Lesson, children must feel comfortable enough to paddle and their manage own surfboard. If you feel your child will need to be on the surfboard with the instructor (aka tandem surf lesson) then please sign them up for a private lesson. Often children 2-6 years old feel most comfortable doing a tandem lesson for the first time.

For safety reasons, only students 13 years and older may join our Open Group Lesson.
