Planning to go to La Union, Pangasinan for some surfing lessons. At what age can kids start learning how to surf? Thanks!

I've read that the best age for children is 8 years old. Children generally start with soft top boards. Find a school that teaches children. For example, La Union Surf School has conducted lessons for children as young as 5. Their beginner lesson is conducted individually. http://www.launionsurfschool.com/faq/
