Why is surfing great for kids? Check out some of the valuable skills surfing can teach children…
Coordination and Balance
Surfing requires a strong sense of coordination and balance. Coordination is not only an important part of surfing, but it is also an important part of life. Children use coordination to play sports, walk along a narrow pathway and ride a bike.
Communication and Interaction
Because your children will be in the water with other people, they will learn how to communicate and interact in a non traditional setting. This is an important skill, especially for children who are in school. You want them to learn how to connect with peers and others who they come into contact with, respecting boundaries and taking turns on the waves Surfing can definitely help them to do just that.
Opening Up
Surfing also connects your child with others who share the same interests as they have. This is important when growing up. You don’t want your child to give up on something they really enjoy. By being involved in an activity that others enjoy too, it allows your child to open up and break them out of their shell.
Boys and girls alike will love getting out and taking surfing lessons during your family vacation in Costa Rica.
