We usually pair them with one of our parent instructors, keep them close to shore, and give them the 1-on-1 attention they need. Parents are welcome to wade in the water close by and cheer them on. And funny enough, the kids usually catch their first real waves sooner than the adults. Maybe it\u2019s their fearless instinct or their nimble bodies that haven\u2019t felt the burden of old age.

Check out these top 3 before diving into the full blog<\/p><p><strong>Take your kiddo everywhere.<\/strong>\u00a0Unless you have a particularly cranky little person, go on surf trips, go to the beach. You may have to trade off surfing with your significant other, but it\u2019s a small price to pay for getting out in the waves.<\/p><p><b>Don\u2019t push them (unless they ask).<\/b>\u00a0One of the biggest mistakes parents make is pushing their kids too hard. Don\u2019t be that parent forcing her kid to surf. For some kids, it takes them years to want to get in the big, loud, scary ocean. Keep in mind that a 2-foot wave is almost head-high to a 3 foot-tall person. Let them watch, let them try things on their own (with you close by to rescue them). Of course, if you\u2019re in the surf helping your child catch a wave, then by all means give them a push!<\/p><p><b>When your kids are ready, take them someplace warm, preferably with a surf school.<\/b>\u00a0Taking your kids to surf in Hawaii when they\u2019re five years old is a waste of money. Wait until all the pieces are in place. Can they swim? Do they feel comfortable in waist-high surf? Can they manage a surfboard safely? Do they have experience with timing? Are they stoked? If you answer, \u201cYes,\u201d to these questions, then they\u2019re ready. Of course, we want you to consider coming to\u00a0<a class=\"links\" href=\"http:\/\/164.68.121.224\/wrsc\/family-surf-vacations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Witch\u2019s Rock Surf Camp<\/a>.

They have personalities that are as different as night and day. One is a pleasure seeker. Fun is the name of the game. The other is intense and analytical. He needs a process and an attainable goal or he loses interest. We were deliberate in our efforts to keep the boys constantly exposed to surfing, without any pressure to take part. We introduced them to the sport, but they arrived at their love for it in very different ways&#8230;I see watching my kids learn to surf as a similar metaphor for parenting. My boys approach surfing from different perspectives and love it for different reasons. They set out on different paths but both arrived at the same place in their own way, following their own rhythm.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9ff725 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c9ff725\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/164.68.121.224\/wrsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3568ee6d-0121-4206-a946-eff3b99bdf6b-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-40803\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/164.68.121.224\/wrsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3568ee6d-0121-4206-a946-eff3b99bdf6b-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/164.68.121.224\/wrsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3568ee6d-0121-4206-a946-eff3b99bdf6b-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/164.68.121.224\/wrsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3568ee6d-0121-4206-a946-eff3b99bdf6b-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/164.68.121.224\/wrsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3568ee6d-0121-4206-a946-eff3b99bdf6b.jpg 1079w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-261ed05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"261ed05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you&#8217;re still unsure if our surf camp is right for your family, give us a toll-free call at 1-888-318-7873 and we will clear up any doubts.
