Family Fun Learning to Surf in Oceanside

A great vacation idea is family fun learning to surf in Oceanside. When families decide a beach vacation would be great for summer, what better thing to do than learn to surf. After the first day, members are able to rent boards and practice on their own. It is an activity where everyone is together and no one gets left behind.

Recent families taught have two parents and four kids. This is a great recreation for kids because once they rent the boards, the ocean is free. There is no time limit for how long you can play. While some are surfing others could be resting in the sun. It is great exercise and everyone can feel they are spent by the end of the day. Kids will sleep better.

The Fundamentals of Family Learning

Family learning begins with a dryland lesson. The lesson points out safety and techniques that will be practiced in the water. Most people can execute the pop up on dryland, but they find their mind goes a bit gaga in the water. This is where coaching is important. People lose awareness of what they are actually doing.

Students learn to roll over on the surfboard in waist deep water and ride to the beach. Because everyone is in shallow water, swimming is not as crucial at this point. The advantage of being a swimmer is students are comfortable having their head under water so when the tip over, they are not panicked.

Catching waves is something everyone enjoys even if they are not good surfers. There is something magical that is much more fun than a boogie board. Learning the proper sequence for standing on the board results in riding foam waves to the beach. Everyone can enjoy this for a few hours. At the end of a lesson, most will want to rest until the next day.

At the beginning of the water lesson, people are often a little apprehensive. So many new things to learn in a new environment. Within a short time, one can see everyone start to relax and feel at home in the waves. One mom said, sure, when you see you are not going to die, it becomes more fun. One family ranged from dad to a 46 pound son and he was a real charger.
