Take it Slow:
Teaching a baby how you can surf is from time to time tricky. Because ALL kids are islands unto themselves, nurturing a young love affair with surfing starts with you, the teacher. The key is patience, patience, patience. Really do not rush the child into the h2o and on to a board. If he just wants to hang on the seashore and develop a sand castle then so be it. If the child feels frustrated or afraid, this will only set your entire surfing plan back a couple of steps.
