Hi Amanda - We usually tell our customers that it depends on the individual child, however, most 8 year olds who are comfortable in the water have a great time. If your child has tried kayaking before, they will be at an even more advantage. We usually start them sitting or on their knees to get them used to switching the paddle from side to side. Once they conquered that step, they're up and going, usually just fine! Let us know if you have any other questions! - Sarah
