Surfboard Fundamentals
Choose the Right Spot
Teaching a stoked grom (kid) to surf can be one of the most rewarding ways to share your love for the ocean. It’s not just about catching waves—it’s about creating a positive and encouraging first experience that lays the foundation for a lifetime of surfing, overcoming challenges, and immersing in an environment much bigger than themselves.
Keep in mind, the ocean is always changing. Even the most mellow longboard wave can be big, powerful, and scary on the wrong day. Sometimes the lesson might be as simple as "notice anything different today? Maybe we eat donuts on the beach and watch the big surf." Keep in mind, the ocean is always changing.
