Kids' and family Surf Camp: Fun and safe lessons in southern Fuerteventura
About this experience
Our shallow water classes are ideal for children and teenagers to start practicing surfing in a fun and enjoyable way. It also represents a fantastic experience for the whole family when parents and children surf together.
Our instructors are constantly surprised by how quickly children learn naturally. Seeing their enthusiasm and excitement when riding a wave is almost as rewarding as surfing.
We work in small groups to ensure that the little ones receive the necessary support and personalized attention. The instructors help the children carry the boards, choose the right waves, and gently push the boards, offering constant feedback and support.
To ensure safety and comfort, our team stays with the children at all times, and the classes are held on beaches with soft sandy bottoms, weak currents, and gentle waves. Children receive surfboards with a soft foam surface and a wetsuit with long arms and legs, which not only protects them from the cold but also from the sun. Children under 12 are given a lightweight surf helmet with a soft neoprene cover.
Upon arrival at the beach, the instructors explain the use of the surfing equipment, the characteristics of the waves, the currents, and the safety rules. After a brief theoretical introduction, the children do practical exercises on the sand. The team shows the correct stance on the board and the necessary movement to stand up, known as the "Take Off." This method ensures that children gain confidence and safety in the water from the beginning, choose the right waves, and improve their surfing technique.
The goal is for everyone to enjoy and learn at the same time.
