Surfing is more than just a sport, it’s an adventure in itself!
Children’s surf lessons are an exceptional opportunity for your little explorers to develop not only their physical skills, but also their self-confidence, their connection with nature and their team spirit.
In this article, we explore the multiple benefits that surf lessons offer children, from mastering technical skills to personal development, all in the stimulating and invigorating setting of Lacanau Océan’s waves.
The height of the waves and the immensity of the ocean can be awe-inspiring for any learner surfer. Overcoming waves and standing up on a surfboard are achievements that boost children’s self-confidence. Every wave can be a source of pride, helping children to believe in their abilities and take on new challenges.
Our surf school instructors are used to giving surf lessons to children. They are very patient and have a keen sense of pedagogy, and offer fun sessions adapted to all ages and levels to meet everyone’s needs.
Surfing is a sport that requires patience and perseverance. Both young and old need to be calm and collected to learn to surf. In our surf lessons for kids, young surfers learn to wait for the right wave, not to give up when they fall, and to keep trying until they succeed. This valuable life lesson will stay with them well beyond the waves.
Spending time in the ocean allows children to develop a connection with nature. At a time when all eyes are focused on screens, surfing lets them forget about digital games and social networks for a few hours! In a surfing class, children learn to read the waves, understand the tides and appreciate the beauty of the marine environment, which can raise awareness of the importance of protecting the oceans.
Surf lessons offer children a welcome break from an often tumultuous world. The soothing sensation of contact with the water, combined with the concentration needed to stay balanced, can help reduce stress and anxiety. By focusing on learning new skills and conquering the waves, children are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and overcome their fears.
So, whether you’re just passing through Lacanau or live in the area, don’t hesitate to offer your children a surfing lesson. Enjoy the waves of the Atlantic Ocean and give them unforgettable surfing moments.
Surfing is an all-round physical activity that involves many of the body’s muscles. Paddling to catch the waves, standing up on the board and maintaining balance demand strength, endurance and flexibility, helping to improve children’s fitness in a fun way.
Surf lessons give children the chance to meet other surfing apprentices their own age and make new friends. In partnership with the Airotel L’Océan and Yelloh Village Les Grands Pins campsites, the encounters made during a surf lesson are extended for the duration of the vacation, or even longer!
Surfing requires intense concentration. Children need to stay aware of the waves, their position on the board and their surroundings to avoid obstacles and make the most of their experience. This ability to concentrate can be transferred to other aspects of their daily lives, such as school or extra-curricular activities.
Surfing offers kids a dose of thrills they won’t soon forget. The sensation of gliding through the water and the thrill of speed provide an unforgettable experience for budding young adventurers.
At BO & CO, we’re always delighted to see enthusiasts who surfed their first wave with our surf school. It’s not uncommon to find adults who surfed their first foam with BO & CO as kids, now enrolling their own children in surf lessons!
In conclusion, surf lessons for kids offer a multitude of benefits, from physical and mental development to connecting with nature and creating unforgettable memories.
So why not give your children the opportunity to discover the wonders of the ocean and experience an adventure they’ll remember forever?
