About The Family Surf Lesson
This family surf lesson is in a private group format and is ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers.
Your family will get an instructor dedicated to your family group. You will not share the instructor with any other students. This allows us to get children from as young as 5 years old surfing with their mum and dad.
The small family group size means our coaches can give you more attention in a safer environment to speed up the learning process.
We run daily surf lessons suitable for everyone aged 5 to 80, from complete beginner to competitive professionals, school groups to group parties using in water teaching, classroom theory lessons, video analysis and surf skate sessions.
We want you to enjoy surfing as much as we do, so whether you’ve never stood on a board before or have been doing it for years, we want to help you progress to your full potential.
“My girls (plus friends) have been to Surfing Croyde Bay’s family surfing lessons for the last 3 summers. They have always enjoyed their time and learned a lot. The staff are very friendly, helpful and accommodating! Highly recommend them for surfing.”

“Basically the board you’ll use is amazing for learning. The brilliance of the Softech board, is that you can progress to a standard where transitioning to a hard board isn’t as big a step as normal.”
Damon Beveridge – Director Of Surfing Croyde Bay

The Ultimate Guide To Family Surf Lessons
What Can You Expect When You Book Family Surf Lessons With Surfing Croyde Bay?
At Surfing Croyde Bay family surfing lessons are organised in a private group. Being in a private group means you have a personal instructor who is also a qualified lifeguard to look after you and your family. It’s a fantastic activity to participate in on your family holiday.
When you arrive at our surf school in Croyde Bay, you will meet your surfing instructor. Your surf instructor will fit your family out with modern and warm Tiki wetsuits as well as the correct size surfboards for each of your family members.
Your coach will ensure that all of your equipment is ready and you will get a technique overview on the beach. If you’ve never surfed before, don’t worry! Your surfing lessons will cater for all abilities.
The structure of the group lesson starts with educating you on paddling, handling the board in the water, pop up and standing on the surfboard. Your family will then get into the water and practice the techniques you have just learnt.
The focus of the tuition is on adults as well as children. Our instructors have some great child-friendly tips to get them to get the most out of the lesson.
Riding your first wave is a massive buzz, and we do everything we can to get your whole family up and riding.
Can I Add An Extra Person To The Family Surf Lesson?
Yes, of course. You can add an additional person, give us a call, and we will sort this out for you.

Is It OK To Organise A Family Surf Lesson Just For Our Children?
Yes, that’s fine. If your son or daughter is under 18, you will need to sign a surfing participation form prior to the surfing lesson.
You can leave your children with their surf coach, or you can come to the beach and watch them enjoy their time surfing with their instructor.
All of our family surf lesson instructors are coached on getting the most out of your private group lesson. Safety and high standards are at the centre of everything done at Surfing Croyde Bay; your surf coach holds a Beach Lifeguard qualification and ISA Surf Coaching award.
What Is The Minimum Age For A Family Surf Lesson Participant??
To get the most out of a family surf lesson, your child should be five or over. They should also be able to swim.
The surf instructor is also a qualified lifeguard who will keep an eye on any weaker swimmers. The surf lesson will move at your own pace, and 1:1 feedback will be given to in your private surfing lessons.
