If you're looking for a fun and active way to get your kids out of the house and into the water, look no further than kids surf lessons Perth! 

Surfing is a great sport for kids – it teaches them about the ocean and the natural environment. It's also great exercise and helps improve strength, balance and coordination. Plus, kids who learn to surf will hopefully learn a skill for life and maybe even discover they have a knack for it.

With that in mind, we thought we'd give you a rundown of what our kids surf lessons in Perth entail. This way, you can decide if it's something your kids would enjoy and benefit from.

What will kids learn?

Kids have a natural curiosity when it comes to the ocean. Most children also enjoy having sports or outdoor activities in their life. 

Learning to surf essentially combines both of these together in a unique and challenging way. While kids are having fun, they're also learning how to read the waves, paddle out into the lineup and ride said waves.

In addition to the physical advantages, there are also numerous mental benefits to surfing for kids. Perth Go Surf is at the forefront of leading surf Therapy research here in Western Australia. Surfing requires focus and concentration as well as good decision-making capabilities. These skills will come in handy not only in future surfing endeavours but in other areas of life as well. 

Finally, kids surf lessons Perth will also help your children develop a greater respect for the ocean and the flora and fauna that call it home, as well as teach them about ocean safety.

Who are they for?

While kids can begin learning about the ocean and surfing at any age, our kid’s group surf lessons in Perth are generally for boys and girls ages 8 and above. We recommend private lessons for kids younger than this.

In terms of ocean competence, kids should be able to swim unaided and be comfortable in and around the water. Of course, every child is different and will develop at their own pace. This is where our expert instructors come in. We assess each child's ability on an individual basis and place them in the appropriate lesson group or provide extra assistance when necessary. 

By doing so, we can ensure that every child gets the most out of their kids surf lessons Perth experience.
