Absolutely.

Our Private Surf Lessons are more flexible than our group lessons, where our normal minimum age is 8y/o.
On a Private Surf Lesson one child as young as 5-7 years old can join.
Just remember that due to their age/size there is a high chance the instructor will need to spend the vast majority of their hands-on time with them for safety reasons.
If an additional child between 5-7 years old wishes to join the class then they'll need to have a non-surfing adult in the water for support.
For your Private Surf Lesson at Watergate Bay, make sure you arrive wearing a swimsuit, sun cream and slip-on shoes.
Bring a towel and a change of clothes, and £1 for the public showers.
As a smaller surf school with limited space, please try to limit the belongings you plan to leave with us.
We'll provide everything else you need on the day like wetsuits and surfboards!
