Parents Guide to Kids Surf Lessons

Children can start surfing lessons from 5 years old at Bae Surf School. • Age 5: Parent or guardian must remain present during the lesson. • Age 6+: Children can participate unaccompanied. Our instructors adapt lessons to each child’s ability and confidence level.

A typical lesson lasts around 2.5 hours and includes: 1. Beach safety briefing 2. Learning how to carry and handle a surfboard 3. Paddling and popping up techniques 4. Practising waves in shallow water with instructor support Our goal is to build confidence, safety awareness and enjoyment in the ocean.

Many children feel nervous before their first lesson. Our instructors are experienced in helping kids feel comfortable and confident in the ocean. Lessons start slowly with beach practice before entering the water, Or why not try our ‘Hello Ocean’ (/hello-ocean)session to get comfortable in the soft whitewtaer waves of Rhossili.
