About Offshore Surf School - SurfGroms
Offshore Surf School - SurfGroms is a children's surf education provider operating the Woolworths SurfGroms programs at Inverloch and Sandy Point. The organisation delivers structured surf and stand-up paddleboarding lessons for children aged 5–12, focusing on core ocean skills, surf awareness and beach safety. Lessons mix coaching with group-based games to build confidence, water competence and teamwork in a supportive environment.
Instructors use age-appropriate equipment and teaching methods suited to young learners, emphasising progression through repeated practice and positive reinforcement. Sessions introduce basic paddling, wave catching, board control and safe re-entry techniques, along with awareness of local conditions and simple hazard recognition. Group formats encourage camaraderie, turn-taking and cooperative learning while maintaining close supervision.
Offshore Surf School - SurfGroms runs both intensive programs and weekly programs. Intensive programs concentrate learning into focused blocks, while weekly programs deliver regular, ongoing skill development. Both program types aim to foster a lasting enjoyment of ocean recreation and provide foundational skills that support future independent participation in beach activities.
Safety protocols include beach-based briefings, monitored water time and instruction on when to seek help. The programs are suitable for beginners and for children building on early experience. Families looking for structured, child-focused surf education at Inverloch or Sandy Point will find clear learning objectives and a program designed to prioritise safety, skill development and enjoyment. Offshore Surf School - SurfGroms operates under the Woolworths SurfGroms framework and delivers consistent, age-specific lessons for young ocean learners. Programs run seasonally at monitored public beaches.
