Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child is younger than 6?

We have taught many 4 and 5 year old children over the years and have had great success! Often younger kids have not yet acquired the apprehension of doing something for the first time or even the fear of doing something new. That's fantastic and allows the child to slowly, but surely, develop a healthy appreciation and respect for the ocean and Mother Nature. When accepting younger kids and all kids, we know that you know your child best and we trust your judgment when sending your child to any of our programs.
Is it possible to learn to surf after one week of Surf Camp?

Surfing takes time to master and even gaining proficiency takes time. Much depends on age, health, and the prior relationship with Mother Nature and the ocean. During a week of Surf Camp, we aim to give your kids tools to be able to continue to paddle out on their own. We don't discourage additional weeks and actually encourage you to book more weeks of camp. For continued support, please check out our Surf Club...
What if it rains?

Rain doesn't discourage us at all. Thunderstorms do. In the event that rain or thunderstorms are in the forecast, we will try to make a call and notify you by email by 8PM the night before. That email may just say that we will make a decision by 7AM the next morning. We allow one day per week to be canceled due to weather or any other unforeseen circumstances. If two or more days are canceled we will prorate the rest of the week. Please remember, No news is good news... :-)
