Kids Learn to Surf
Kids Learn to surf and have a recreation to enjoy all their lives. It is something you can use to center vacations. The ocean is free. Right now, lots of moms are getting kids into surfing because it is seemingly Covid safe and outdoors.
Kids learn easily. They are flexible, strong enough to catch waves and push their body up on a surf board, and athletic enough to ride to the beach. Kids get addicted immediately. Having wave power push a surf board is not like other experiences.
What Kids Learn
It is important they are comfortable in the ocean. At the beginning level, kids do not go out into deep water and are rarely over their heads in the ocean. They are riding foam waves that break near the beach.
They learn how to handle the surf board in the water and how to watch for other surfers. Falling off a surfboard rarely hurts anyone, but a surfboard or another surfer can cause an injury.
When kids learn to surf they have to follow a sequence for catching waves and then popping up on the board. They have to focus. Kids can tend to be unfocused or not able to maintain attention to details. They have to learn both to be successful in surfing. In the water instructions overcome their desire to do it their own way as soon as they realize their way may not work.
Kids learn humility. The ocean is powerful. It doesn’t take long before every surfer realizes who is the ruler in the water. Only by practicing good techniques can a surfer learn to harness the power instead of getting beat up by the power.
There are no ceilings in surfing and it is equal opportunity. Girls can be as good as boys and there is no discrimination. It is a community and a culture. Those who surf have a connection because they have been through the same rites of passage and understand a skill that everyone shares.
There are few downsides to surfing. The more kids surf, the stronger they get and more connected to Nature they become. It builds confidence and for so many it is a way of life.
