Bore Beach Surf School – First Waves for Kids

Description

Bore Beach Surf School introduces children and teens to surfing in a safe, supportive way on one of Jæren’s best beginner beaches. Professional instructors choose soft boards and friendly waves, and lessons focus on fun, water safety, and building confidence step by step. Even total beginners can stand up and ride small waves by the end of a session.

Why families love it:
- Friendly, qualified instructors who love teaching kids
- Soft foam boards and shallow, sandy bottom
- Clear safety briefing and warm‑up games
- A simple, positive path from lying to standing on the board

What to expect in a lesson:
You meet at the surf school’s base, receive a wetsuit and board, and learn the basics on the beach—board parts, how to paddle, and how to pop up. Then the group moves into the water with instructors close by. Children practice catching small waves again and again; each try builds balance and smiles. Parents can watch from the beach and take photos, or join a family session.

Best ages and pacing tips:
Great for ages 10–16 who can swim and are comfortable in the water. Sessions are typically 1.5–2 hours. Encourage short warm‑up jogs and stretches; after the lesson, plan time for hot chocolate and a snack.

Safety notes:
- Always follow the instructor’s signals
- Stay within the lesson zone and with the group
- Wetsuits and life vests (if needed) are provided

What to bring:
- Swimwear for under the wetsuit and a towel
- Warm clothes for after the session
- Drinking water and an easy snack

The reward:
Learning to surf gives children a great confidence boost. Many families book a second session because the first experience is so positive and fun.
