Most surf camps and camp directors have their own philosophies about what kind of boards are best for teaching surfing. However, most camps will use "soft top" surfboards (almost like a hard boogie board material) since these are typically easier to learn on. They are generally very durable too, which is important for teaching surfing to kids during the long summer months.

Surf Camp Spotlight: South Padre Surf Company

2011-07-31T20:41:00.000-07:00

Here's a new feature we're starting here at Surf Camp Search...we're gonna highlight a surf camp or two each week so you can see more in depth about what's out there in the way of surf camp opportunities. Today's featured surf camp is South Padre Island Surf Company.

One of the reasons this program caught our eye is their new website redesign. It's a really nice sight with bright colors and cool surf camp photos. The one drawback is they do not give too much information about their camp programs. They seem to focus more on their lessons and surf rentals. They ask you to email them for info about their camps.

But even so, the camp looks fun and seems to be run by experienced instructors. You also get a free t-shirt and lunch when you sign up. So if we were looking for a surf camp in Texas, this one would surely be in the running!

When All-Day Surf Camps are too much, try a Half or Partial Day Option

2011-05-16T06:48:00.000-07:00

Surf camp is fun! But surfing can be tiring, too. Many surf camps for kids offer full-day enrollment, but you can find many surf camps offering part-day enrollment options too. If you'd rather go to surf camp on a partial day or half day basis, simply search on Bing, Yahoo, Google on another search engine for "half-day surf camps" and you will see that many options are available to you. And the good news is, partial day camps may be more affordable than an all-day thing! :)

What is My Child Doesn't Like Surf Camp?

2011-05-12T06:33:00.000-07:00

This is a very valid concern. Many parents are afraid of spending lots of money to send their kids to surf camp, but what happens if the child has a bad experience? This is why it's very important to get the camp's refund policy up front. Many surf camps offer money back guarantees, while others have strict "no refund" policies. Surf camps are a total BLAST for most kids, but of course you can't please everybody all the time and surfing's not for everyone. So you always want to be sure what you're getting into BEFORE you spend any money.
