FAQ – May Half Term Surf Club Sessions
What ability is this club for?
This is for beginners through to intermediate surfers. Usually, the group will be split into those that want to surf further out back on the green waves and those that prefer to stay in the shallow waters catching white waves. If you are unsure if this group is suitable then feel free to contact us and we can chat about whether it is right for your child or not. The most important thing is that they enjoy being out in the sea, they will progress well if this is the case. We will always help to build their confidence to aid progression.
Do I have to complete a registration form if I filled one out for something else?
Yes, you will have to complete a new registration form for these sessions for 2023. You will only have to do this once for your first session, you will not have to complete another one for any additional sessions unless your circumstances change. You also only have to complete one registration form for all 2023 sessions including weekend club sessions and summer camps. You can find the registration form on our website.
When are the sessions?
Everyday from Monday 30sth May – Friday 5th June, 10am-12pm
How do I book a space?
Complete the registration form above and email a copy to us at ‘ Laneez1999@gmail.com ‘ to reserve a space.
How much does it cost and do you have to commit to all the sessions?
The cost is £25 per child per session and includes a board and wetsuit. If your child already has a board and wetsuit, it is still £25. You can sign up to as many sessions as you would like.
What do they need to bring with them?
They will need to bring their wetsuit and board if they wish to use their own. If they are using our wetsuits then it is recommended to arrive with swimwear on under clothes as we only have limited changing room facilities. Usually most of the children just use their changing robes to get changed. Please, if possible, apply suncream before you arrive to give it chance to absorb into the skin as otherwise it may wash off in the sea. It’s important that they drink lot’s of water too. They will need a towel for changing and also dry clothes. We also have a shop selling light refreshemnts and their is an ice cream truck opposite if they wish to bring money for this.
What are the ages of children that attend?
The minimum age is 8 years old. Generally, we have children up to the age of 14 attending.
Who will look after the children, are the instructors qualified?
The children will be looked after by qualified surf instructors who are DBS checked and have experience in first aid. They are qualified in beach lifeguarding and surf coaching. The lead instructors have also undergone lead safeguarding training. If you want to know more about this then please let us know.
We are also certified by CEYS (childcare and early years service). This requires annual assessment of our procedures, staff and facilities.
What facilities will the children have access to?
We have a portaloo toilet and a changing room on site. There is only one changing room so it is recommended the children bring towels with them to change with.
What happens if they become unwell?
We will contact you immediately if your child becomes unwell and arrange for your child to be collected should they wish. We will use the contact details listed on the registration form to do this. In the case of an emergency, we will contact the emergency services. Staff are first aid trained and we also have lifeguards at hand who are highly experienced in first aid.
What happens if they are unable to surf because of the poor weather conditions?
If the beach is ‘red-flagged’ by the lifeguards on duty (usually due to storms / lightening / fog etc), or the instructors feel the conditions are too dangerous, the children will not partake in any water-based activities. We aim to cancel any sessions with at least 1 day notice. We will aim to give more notice but this will depend on the forecast. You will be informed if we have to cancel a session.
What equipment is included?
All equipment is included including wetsuits and surfboards. We have wetsuits for all sizes from XXS child to XXL adults. We also have surfboards for different abilities and conditions. If the children have their own wetsuits and surfboards, they are welcome to bring these with them to use or if they arrive and their own equipment isn’t suitable, we will recommend something different for them to use to suit their ability and the conditions.
What are the teaching ratio’s?
The maximum ratio we work to is 1 instructor to 8 students which is in line with the governing body guidance.
