Surfing, School Holiday Surf Camp - Central Coast

Stuck for ideas on how to entertain the kids during the school holidays? Why not send them on a 2 day surf course from either Umina/Ocean Beach, Avoca Beach or Terrigal Beach on the Central Coast. Lessons go for 1.5 hours each day 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 you kids and lead them into the warm up to prepare them for a 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!

You can also choose which of the following beaches you would like them to surf from:

• Umina/Ocean Beach - a protected bay that rarely gets large swells and offers arguably the most ideal conditions for learning to surf
• Avoca Beach - a more open beach that can almost guarantee waves 365 days a year and some of the best surfing on the coast
• Terrigal Beach - another open beach which regularly offers ideal learning conditions
