Kids surf lessons in Seignosse
At Kiwadu Surf School, children learn to surf in a safe and fun environment on Penon beach in Seignosse. Adapted teaching, small groups, certified instructor.
Safety and teaching
Surfing adapted for children
Surfing is an amazing sport for kids: it builds confidence, balance and a connection with nature.
JB adapts his teaching to each age group. Younger children (6-8) work mainly in the whitewater with very stable foam boards. Older kids (9-14) progress quickly towards unbroken waves.
Safety is the absolute priority. JB holds a state teaching diploma and BNSSA lifeguard certification. He picks the gentlest conditions and stays in the water with the children throughout the session.
How it works
What does a kids lesson look like?
-
Warm-up and safety rules
Children start with a fun warm-up on the sand. JB explains water safety, key signals and how waves work — all in simple, age-appropriate language.
-
Exercises on the sand
The take-off (standing up on the board) is practised several times on the sand until the move becomes automatic. This key step helps children feel confident before entering the water.
-
In the water: first waves
Children start in the whitewater, where waves are gentle and the water is shallow. JB coaches them one by one, helping each child catch waves and stand up. The goal: every child leaves with a smile and the desire to come back!
