The team of instructors at Manly Surf School run four day courses for kids every school holidays, even in winter. All kids are provided with the right surfboard, wetsuit and placed in the right age group to get them having the most fun and learning quicker. Classes run for 1.5 hours and the kids are taught surf safety (rips, shorebreaks, wipeouts), surfing skills (beginner to advanced), paddling, standing, turning, surf etiquette and how to identify dangers of the ocean. They also teach bodysurfing and surf swimming so the kids know what to do if their legrope breaks.
