Surfing, Kids 1.5hr Surf Group Lesson - Newcastle
Stuck for ideas on how to entertain the kids(younger than 10)? Why not send them on to a surf lesson on beautiful Newcastles' Beaches? Lessons go for 1 hour and are a great way to give your kids an intro to surfing in a fun and safe environment.
All lessons progress through the skills of surfing according to the students' abilities and previous experience. The instructors will start by checking the surf conditions with your kids and a safety briefing before each session of surfing fun, entertainment and improvement. These lessons will cover the basics of riding a surfboard and how to catch a wave, surf awareness and ocean conditions (rips, currents, tides) all whilst the kids are on the beach.
The focus is to introduce them as a beginner surfer to the pure thrill and addiction of surfing a great wave, but also to educate them on the dangers of the ocean and the importance of fitness and safety. Techniques they will learn include: How to ride a surfboard, surf awareness, surf safety, warm-up and stretches. This group session is a great way to give an introduction to surfing and a taste for the rush that it is!
Although we will do our best to accommodate your timing request, session times are dependent on tides so please be flexible.
