KIDS' LESSONS
If you want to look your best on your surfboard and impress your mates at the beach, you’ll want to hang with us. Lets Go Surfing puts together Australia’s leading kids and teens learn-to-surf programs, with our students ranging from complete beginners to world-class teen surfers like Jessi Miley Dyer. Jessi actually started with us as a first-time surfer and has since become the dual Australian Junior Champion and World Junior Champion. Way to go Jess!
Whatever level you are and whether you want to just chill out on a board or become a totally sick surfer, we’ll help you get cranking out there while also making sure you have a good time – fun is what it’s really all about!
To make sure you get the most out of your surf lessons, our classes are split into two age groups (7-11 and 12-16) and then again by ability level (beginner, intermediate and advanced). And if you get really, really good, well we might even put you through our talent identification process that feeds into Surfing Australia’s Surfing Elite program – it’s how grommets become surfing pros!
So come meet up with us at Bondi, grab some waves, make new surfing friends and show off your wicked new moves to your jealous classmates who missed out. You know you’ll love it.
“The best surfer is the one having the most fun!” – Brenda Miley, Director, Lets Go Surfing
Hey Parents!
Some kids may not care less about safety and accreditation, but just so you know, we pride ourselves on offering the most professional program with a dedicatedly small student/teacher ratio (6-to-1) that keeps safety as its top priority – right next to our students having fun, that is. We use soft safe surfboards that are easy to learn on, keep our students warm with good-quality O’Neill wetsuits and make sure to protect them from the sun with UV rashvests and instruction on proper sunblock application.
We are a licensed Surfing Australia surf school, as well
as a member of the Surf Schools Association of Australia, ensuring that
we’re well-versed in educational and safety standards. Our instructors
have the highest teaching qualifications, including Level 1 surfing coaching
accreditation, advanced resuscitation and First Aid certification. They
even have the Bronze Medallion with Surf Life Saving Australia, the intensive
program that teaches everything from ocean rescues to CPR to surf awareness.
This pursuit of excellence stems from the top, as Lets Go Surfing’s director
Brenda Miley is a former PD/Health/PE teacher for both the secondary and
primary school systems. It’s just another reason why we’re your best and
safest choice for teaching your kid (or kids) to surf.
