Learning to surf for kids: steps, tips, and safety
1. Welcome and introduction to the equipment
The lesson always begins with an introduction: colorful boards, adapted wetsuits, and a big smile from the instructor. Children learn to recognize their board, attach their leash, apply wax, and understand the purpose of each piece of equipment. A fun first approach to help them feel comfortable before heading into the water.
2. Games and getting familiar with the ocean
Before surfing, it’s all about playing! Children discover the Penon beach, learn how to read the waves, and identify safe areas. Through fun games and small challenges, they learn to face the waves without fear and duck under the foam. Splashes, laughter, and great moments guaranteed!
3. First contact with the board
Then comes the moment to get in the water! Young surfers learn how to lie on their board, paddle with their arms, and ride white water with confidence. The instructor guides them individually so they can find their balance and feel the magical sensation of gliding.
4. Learning to stand up
Back on the sand, it’s time to practice the pop-up technique. Children learn step by step how to stand up, position their feet, and keep their balance like real surfers. Once in the water, they repeat the movement on small waves, proud of their first successes.
5. Gliding, laughter, and progress
Sessions always end in a joyful atmosphere. Children grow more confident, catch their first waves, and share lots of laughter with every fall or splash. The instructor encourages each achievement, making every moment a positive and motivating experience.
6. Safety and care above all
At Chill Surf School Seignosse, safety is the top priority. Lessons take place in suitable areas, with close supervision and equipment specially designed for children. Each child learns to respect the ocean and surf with confidence.
