So what does it mean to go to a Billabong Surf Camp? Just what you’d expect from the leader in Surfing – free Billabong giveaways and of course, the best surf camp around!
Whether your child has never surfed before or if they just want to improve their skills, we have the coaching that will enable them to reach their goals. Our instructors will work with your child in small groups (4-1 student to instructor ratio), which provide students with more individual attention and a safer environment in which to learn surfing.
Our instructors are all CPR, First-Aid, & Lifeguard certified and ready to teach your child the basics of surfing. We use Soft Core surfboards so that learning is safe and easy and we provide your child with a wetsuit so that they will be comfortable in the water. Each participant will learn about ocean awareness, wave breaks, ocean conditions, safety in and out of the water, wave etiquette, paddling, push up and pop up techniques as well as balancing. All students will start out in the shallow water riding the whitewater until they are comfortable with venturing further out.
