What Kids Learn in Their Surf Lesson

Our 90-minute surf lessons for kids cover everything from beach safety to actually riding unbroken waves. Here is exactly what your child's session includes:

  • Beach safety & ocean awareness

    Before entering the water, your child learns how waves form, how to spot rip currents, and the basic rules of sharing a surf lineup. Understanding the ocean builds confidence and respect for the sea — fundamentals every young surfer needs.

  • Board familiarity & carrying safely

    We provide soft-top foam boards sized for each child's height and weight. Your instructor shows kids how the board works, how to hold it on the way to the water, and how to fall safely — so they feel comfortable before a wave is ever involved.

  • Correct paddling technique

    Efficient paddling is what gets a child into waves. We teach the correct arm position, where to lie on the board, and how to read an incoming wave. Kids who learn this right from the start catch far more waves — and have far more fun.

  • The pop-up (the big moment!)

    The pop-up — jumping from lying flat to standing in one smooth movement — is the defining moment of surfing. We practise this on dry sand until the movement feels natural, then the instructor guides every single attempt in the water, adjusting foot position and stance in real time.

  • Riding the wave

    Once up, it's all about balance, weight distribution, and pure joy. Your instructor selects the perfect waves for each child's level and cheers them on every ride. Most kids in our surf lessons for kids at 27 Surf Bali are standing and riding before their 90 minutes are up.
