About

NRMA Insurance SurfGroms adopts an approach to learning that uses group-based games to not only equip your child with the skills they need to surf and/or SUP, but also to encourage their participation by having fun. Every NRMA Insurance SurfGroms lesson is designed purposefully to create a positive and supportive learning environment.

NRMA Insurance SurfGroms teaches children from 5-12 years old core skills in the ocean across five incremental skill levels, as well as fundamental Ocean Awareness and Beach Safety skills such as surf survival and rescue techniques; basic first aid skills; and about varying surf conditions at the beach.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure kids drink plenty of water before and after sessions to avoid dehydration from active outdoor time.
