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.

Ensure kids drink plenty of water before and after sessions to avoid dehydration from active outdoor time.
Instructors monitor tides carefully, but parents should be aware of tidal changes that may affect lesson timing and safety.
