Term 1: Learn to Surf
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Through fun, progressive training on land and in the wave pool, kids will build confidence, develop essential surfing skills, and learn to ride waves with control and ease.

Foundations
of Surfing

Kids are introduced to surfing in a safe and structured environment. They will learn how to find their balance, and ride their first waves, while becoming familiar with important wave pool safety guidelines.

Balance & Board Control

Kids will learn directional change across the wave while standing through weight shifting and body positioning. These sessions will focus on building coordination and control on the board.

Flow & Progression

Building on their balance and control, kids will learn to turn on the wave with greater fluidity and control, creating a smoother rhythm on the wave.
As they progress, they will begin exploring beginner-friendly tricks.

Advanced Skills & Showcase

The final weeks focuses on refining flow with confidence, and taking on advanced tricks. Kids will conclude the term with a graduation showcase, where they will put their new skills learnt into practice.
Term 2: Get Ocean Ready
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
In this term, kids will take their first step towards surfing in the ocean. Through a mix of land and wave-pool drills, kids will develop the skills and confidence to navigate the ocean, learnt through a safe environment that mimics natural waves.

Foundations of Ocean Surfing

Through land and still-water drills (no waves formed), they will learn ocean awareness, how to handle equipment safely and fundamentals like board control, paddling and pop-up techniques.

Building Board Confidence

Kids will develop better board control and learn proper positioning on the board while paddling in gentle wave conditiions.

They’ll also continue strengthening the surf techniques learnt in the previous term as they prepare for the ocean.

Strength & Endurance

Kids will take what they’ve learnt in the past weeks into steeper wave conditions, developing greater strength and endurance. At the same time, they will also continue working on their surf techniques learnt in previous terms.

Ocean Readiness

Kids will learn and refine the pop-up technique, progressing from gentle to steeper wave conditions, before bringing all movements together with flow. The term concludes with a graduation showcase to mark their ocean readiness.
