Surfing

Surfing is an amazing experience that can feel like you’re flying on water once your kids have mastered swimming and are comfortable in the water. Some surf schools accept children as young as four, but surfing is a sport that can be enjoyed at any age. Nothing beats catching a wave, but there are other board-related activities that your children may prefer, such as bodyboarding and kitesurfing, which are slightly easier to master. The best part is that surfing is truly a family sport in which everyone can ride at their own pace.

Sailing

Whether your children have a strong sense of adventure or prefer to be on the water rather than in it, sailing could be the water sport for them. Before progressing to other types of boats, dinghy sailing is a fun and cost-effective way to see if they’ll enjoy sailing.

Paddle Boarding

Paddle sports such as kayaking and canoeing allow you to explore quiet stretches of river before progressing to faster flowing water. Equipping your children with kids wetsuits is a wise decision for those times when you do find yourself in the water!

Snorkeling

Nothing beats the unique experience of seeing life beneath the waves. If your child was inspired by Blue Planet and enjoys visiting aquariums, why not give them the chance to see life underwater up close and personal? Begin with snorkeling that combines fun with some useful life skills.

Kids’ watersports are appropriate for your children, make sure they have fun while remaining safe by wearing appropriate clothing and equipment.
