The activity

Surfing, explained

Art Surf runs on a surf simulator: a machine pumps a fast, thin sheet of water up a padded slope, creating a standing wave that riders surf in one spot instead of paddling out to sea. Newcomers often start lying on a bodyboard, then build up to standing as their balance improves, with staff at the edge of the wave to help. Because the wave never breaks and there is no open water, sessions are short and repeatable, which suits first-timers. It builds balance, core strength and confidence. At Art Surf children must be at least 7 and able to swim.

Who it's for

Ages 7 and up (minimum age in the provider's terms), all skill levels including first-time riders. Participants must be able to swim and be in good physical condition; height restrictions may also apply, so ask the provider if your child is small for their age.

What to expect

Arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot - the provider holds a booking for 20 minutes, and late arrivals may get a shorter session. Every participant signs a safety document first, and staff give safety instructions that must be followed throughout. Safety equipment is provided, and the single sessions include professional guidance. Lockers may be available. There is no published trial class: the 30-minute single session (AED 120) is the shortest option. Staff may take photos or videos for promotion - tell them if you'd rather your child isn't included.
