How do I know if my child is ready to start surfing lessons?

Your child may be ready if they enjoy water activities, have good balance and coordination, and can swim confidently. A willingness to try new physical activities is also important.

What type of credentials should I look for in a kids surfing instructor?

Look for instructors with certifications in water safety, experience in teaching children, and a background in competitive or recreational surfing.

What are other ways for my child to learn surfing outside of taking classes?

Encourage practice in swimming pools to build water confidence, watch surfing videos, and practice balance exercises on land. Visiting local beaches for practice sessions can also be helpful.
