DEDICATED TO CHILDREN AGED 5 TO 8

INTRODUCTION TO SURFING COURSE

Our school is equipped with gear specially designed for the little ones (foam boards and small-sized wetsuits). This age group requires particular attention. A discovery-based teaching approach is implemented by the instructor to ensure a fun and safe introduction to surfing.

The goals of these sessions are to familiarize children with the aquatic environment, ease their apprehensions, and provide them with their very first sensation of gliding while having fun. Once the emotional barrier is overcome, the objective of a week-long course will be to master the take-off (paddling + standing up) in the whitewater. Generally, children of this age learn quickly and exhibit certain physical predispositions. Their natural flexibility and low center of gravity are factors that facilitate their learning of surfing.

In the stages of motor development, the period between 5 and 8 years old is an ideal age for acquiring body coordination. Surfing also contributes to the development of body awareness, coordination, and balance in young children. Balancing while lying on the board, standing up by coordinating upper and lower body movements, and maintaining a simple standing posture on the board are all actions that encourage the growth of a child’s motor skills.
