Two summers ago, my daughters (ages 7 and 5 at the time) learned to surf. My older daughter went to a surf camp while my younger one took a one-hour lesson. Being kids with no fear and a great sense of balance, the girls were able to get up immediately and ride waves. I also went to a surf camp for women that summer, and needless to say, it was much harder for me.
