Our Kids Lessons are the very definition of a win-win - they get to experience surfing with kids their own age, while you get two invaluable hours of "me time".

Prices Starting From:

£34pp

The best childcare in the world!

Picture this:

It's the school holidays, the kids are BOUNCING with excitement, wrapped up in a premium wetsuit, about to go surfing in a super small group,,,

... and then there's you... with 2 HOURS of free time?! Literally unheard of!

Ideal for kids aged 8-13 completely new to surfing or the casual holiday surfer looking to improve their white water surfing.

They'll make friends, build water confidence, learn essential surfing skills and knowledge, and no doubt bug you for more lessons year after year!

With only 15 spaces available per day, advanced booking is highly recommended.

    Fantastic people and place! I took my lad kai and his cousin Leo for 3 kids lessons - they absolutely loved it. Blue Surf is more than just a buisness, they actually care about what they are doing and your whole experience. We will definitely be back!”

    “We take our Grandsons to Watergate Bay for Surfing every year. 2024 didn't disappoint. Adam and his team took every care to give them the best experience and of course they want to repeat the experience in 2025. We have found a winning formula to ensure our Grandsons still want to holiday with us old folks!!! Thanks to Adam and his brilliant instructors we continue to make memories with a Grandkids on our absolutely favourite beach.”

    “We took our boys (9 & 12} for their first ever surfing lessons, and both were up and surfing, no bother. The instructors were patient and friendly, the lesson was better value than the other surf school at Watergate, and the kit provided was of agood standard (C-Skins wetsuits).
    Watergate is a better, more consistent and quieter beach to learn.We loved it so much we've already booked my boys back in and taking my nieces too. Definitely recommended.”

    “P.s. It takes awhile for the kids to get in the wetsuits, so turn up on time! ”

    Would absolutely recommend this surf school. We booked a kids lesson for 2 of our children. I was nervous as one is neurodiverse and not always great at communication or listening! We spoke to the instructor Ollie and once the lesson started it was clear I didn’t need to worry at all. There was lots of encouragement from Ollie and when Arthur did finally stand there were cheers from both instructors! Everyone from the surf school was so friendly and great at making the kids feel comfortable. Brilliant place and we will definitely be back”
