Thanks! My older two are currently 14 and 15 years old...and since this trip will be a year or two in the future, they should be good. I grew up in Orange county, CA so a lot of my classmates were surfing in junior high, or even younger. My younger two are 9 and 11 currently. The 11 year old is a naturally strong swimmer and very adventurous. I might look into surf lessons for them all.
