• If your child has their own wetsuit, it's well worth bringing it

• Please bring everything in a suitable water resistant bag or plastic tub

• If they have their own surfboard, they may bring it when their instructor advises them to do so (quite often we like to spend the first couple of days coaching them on a swell board, to enable them to improve their technique)

As much as we would love the surf to be perfect 365 days of the year, it isn’t.

However, it is very unlikely that we will get a whole ‘surf-less’ week. We aim to spend as much time in the surf as possible, so if we have a flat day, we will usually teach surf life saving, beach safety etc on this day, giving us more time in the surf when it does arrive!

Much like the surf, there is not much we can do to control the weather. Again, we aim to work our schedule around bad weather. We use dry weather areas in the bunker as well as erected marquees when it is not suitable outdoors, but we expect surfers to turn up with the appropriate clothing / wet weather gear.

There are not many weather conditions we cannot deal with. Usually the sea is the best place to be if it is pouring with rain!

The only times we will cancel due to bad weather are:

• Wind is over a force 6

• There are predicted thunderstorms

• Torrential rain is predicted for the whole day

If we are unsure about the weather conditions, we will inform you the day before. However, we do not want to cancel if there is a possibility that the weather may change. We arrive at the beach at 07:30am and will phone as soon as possible if we have to cancel.

All of our instructors are ISA or equivalent qualified coaches and SLSGB or equivalent lifeguards. We follow a strict set of guidelines set by the ISA as well as our own N.O.P.

From time to time our coaches use a camera to capture images of the day’s events. These photos are used on our website and for our marketing. Should you wish not to have photos taken of your child, please write to the Jersey Surf School prior to the programme’s start date.
