Overview
Activity details
Learning to surf with your child is sure to be an experience you will never forget. Surf Together - Parent & Child Surfing is just 2 to 1 student to instructor ratios. You will have your own coach that this completely separate from any camps. Think of it as a private lesson with your child. Any age at least 5 and up are welcome. Please note that depending on age, experience and confidence in the ocean, we may need to stay in shallower water for the child to feel comfortable closer to the beach. If this is the case, we ask the parent to stay shallow with the coach and your child to catch waves after they break closer to the beach.
*CHILDREN MUST be able to swim in order to join Surf Together. They do not need to be strong swimmers. We will be staying very shallow so they just need to be able to lightly swim. We will go over all surfing basics and safety before starting the lesson. We either surf the whole time or we have an option to body surf with hand planters for the last 10 minutes of each day. This is a beginner lesson. Please bring water, warm clothes, towel, sunblock, sandals and bathing suit.

Poor Weather – We will make the final call the morning of class. If we cancel or delay class, we will email everyone reserved and also post on the website on the bottom left of summalove.com with at least 2 hours notice. If we cancel class, we issue a make up. If thunderstorms hit 1/2 way through the class, we evacuate the beach immediately and wait until the storm passes to resume surfing. Make ups will not be issued for thunderstorms/ weather related issues outside of our offered makeup or extended camp.
NOTE – WE OPERATE RAIN OR SHINE! Some of the best surfing conditions happen when it is raining. If rain is in the area with scattered showers and overcast skies, we will most likely be surfing with surf camp OPEN. We have plenty of wetsuits to keep the kids warm. If rain is heavy/drenching, it’s cold out and very windy with rough seas and the forecast calls for the whole day to be like that, we most likely will cancel. Year to year we only cancel surf camp due to poor weather 0-2 times the whole season! Just because rain is in the forecast does not mean we will cancel surf camp or lessons. If you miss class due to the weather and class is ON, you will not be given a makeup.
