My father wants to teach my 4 year old nieces how to surf but wants to be safe about it. He is a very experienced surfer and knows how to teach others but not little kids who may not be used to the water. Any suggestions?

First, teach them to swim.
Teach them to be comfortable in the water, not to be scared of it.
I am not a fan of boogie boards, but in the case of a four year old, a boogie board would be a good start, they are pretty safe, easy, and fun. Let em get comfotable with catching and riding waves, they might even learn to stand on their boogie boards. And when it comes time to learn actual surfing, get them soft boards, not hard ones. Keep em on soft boards as long as you can, don’t let em get in to hard boards any earlier than age 12, if possible.

And talk to them, make sure they know that the ocean is wonderful but it has dangers, too. And that they know how to avoid those dangers, or over come them. Maybe even get em diving masks so they can see the wonders down there and get appreciation for the ocean.

I kinda think stand up surfing ought to wait til about age 8.

How long may it take to learn it?

By the way, (and pardon me if it is stupid to ask this), but are there courses to learn surf in countries where it is popular?

Most people can learn to catch waves and stand on their own in one-two sessions with a good instructor. Becoming a competent surfer takes awhile depending on how often you go.

There are plenty of schools and instructors all over the world. The best instructors are those who have been trained through one of the certifying organizations. There are also camps where you can go and learn. plus there are many sources on the Internet that provide information on how to surf. I wouldn’t try surfing without taking a lesson though as it’s difficult to learn from just reading about it.

For a few sources, I’ve included a surf library link with many references and a link to the NSSIA website below.
