Kids Surf / Water Safety Club

The windswept coastline of Amble, England, offers a vibrant setting where kids with a thirst for ocean adventure can refine their surf skills while gaining essential water safety knowledge. Northside Surf School’s Kids Surf / Water Safety Club presents a dynamic 1.5-hour session tailored exclusively for young surfers aged 6 to 16 who have already caught their first wave. Located along the Northumberland coast, Amble is a small fishing town renowned for its clean beaches and accessible surf breaks, making it an excellent natural classroom for water confidence and skill development.

The club breaks participants into two small groups of six, ensuring each child receives focused coaching from experienced instructors familiar with local beach conditions, currents, and tides. Sessions begin with a practical water safety brief covering beach awareness, rip currents, and the fundamentals of responsible ocean interaction—an invaluable foundation that extends beyond the surfboard. Warm-ups on the sand transition seamlessly to in-water time where kids practice paddling, wave catching, and balance drills.

The coaches’ hands-on approach adapts to different skill levels within the group, fostering both confidence and progression in a supportive atmosphere. Amble’s shore is framed by dramatic cliffs, smooth sandstone formations, and occasional seals bobbing offshore, contributing to its distinctive personality among UK surf spots. Northside Surf School not only promotes fun but embeds respect for the marine environment, helping young adventurers become stewards of the coastline they ride.

Whether your child is building on initial lessons or looking to sharpen water safety, this club offers an engaging, educational, and exhilarating experience. The blend of personalized instruction, small group format, and a strong local connection makes Northside Surf School a beacon for families seeking meaningful water adventures in the North East of England.
