Surfing is a lifestyle not just a sport. In Cocoa Beach it is possible to sample the beach/surf lifestyle for a few days and learn the sport of surfing at the same time. 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. In Florida surfers thrive on the waves along the Atlantic Coast. Perhaps the premier surfing spot is Cocoa Beach, the home of Ron Jon’s Surf Shop.

Surfing is about having more fun. Surf camps meet the needs of youngsters as young as six and clinics coach seniors holding their own at 76 and families just wanting to share an adventure together.
