This two-day kids’ surf camp is designed for 12-17-year-olds who are either completely new to surfing or still refining their skills. With a surf-to-instructor ratio of 6:1, it provides a great opportunity to get hands-on experience and build confidence in the water. Over the two days, participants will have plenty of time in the surf, practical guidance from expert instructors, and essential feedback to help them improve their technique and understanding of surfing.
On day one, you'll be introduced to your surfboard, wetsuit, and the basic safety protocols for being in the surf. The day kicks off with an overview of the surf environment, including how to read the water, identify currents, and understand the tides. Then it’s straight into the water, where you’ll learn to paddle, catch waves, and practice popping up. After the first session, there will be feedback from your instructors to help you refine your skills.
The second day focuses on building on what you’ve learned. You’ll spend more time in the water practising your technique, improving your wave selection, and working on your timing. There will also be an in-depth look at surf etiquette, including how to interact with other surfers and understanding wave priority. Throughout both days, your instructors will set personal goals for you to stay motivated and ensure continuous progress in your surfing skills.
The camp takes place at Baggy Lodge, Moor Lane, Croyde EX33 1PA, located in the heart of one of the UK’s most sought-after surf spots. Croyde Bay is famous for its consistent and clean waves, making it a perfect location for beginners and intermediate surfers alike.
The venue offers excellent facilities, including heated changing rooms and hot showers, to keep you comfortable throughout the day. With the surf zone just a short walk away, you'll have quick access to the waves for practical lessons.
