Several companies offer lessons for families, camps for kids and clinics for ages and skills. Where surfers are, generations mix with little friction.

On vacation what could be better, no friction just fun. As sports go surfing is becoming a popular family sport. For anyone that enjoys sun, sea and surf, a logical addition is surfing.

Luckily those who have mastered the sport have in the process learned to be patient. And being patient allows them to teach those with more desire than skill. On the Space Coast all ages and all skill levels will feel welcome. It is the perfect spot for families to surf, learn to surf or watch others learn to surf.

The combination of sunshine, seagulls, sunscreen, sand and surf create the ultimate backdrop for a family vacation at the beach with surfing as part of the fun.
