About

Coastrider Surf Academy NRMA Insurance SurfGroms offers youngsters aged between 5 and 12 years old the opportunity to learn how to surf in a fun, safe and supervised environment, whilst also learning vital ocean awareness and beach safety skills. Surfgroms work through skill levels during their surfing programs, with all first-time surfers starting at Level 1 in their first program. At the completion of each level the groms will have their logbook signed off and a skill level certificate awarded. Coastrider Surf Academy is Tasmania's most renowned surf school and recognised as one of the Australia's leading Surfgrom suppliers.

If you can't make every session of a particular program then you are able to do a makeup session at one of our other Surfgrom programs running during the same time of year. If you require any additional info please contact Jono.

What happens at each lesson

• Roll up at the Beach 5-10min prior to your start time, meet us at the Coastrider Surf Academy Van parked up near the Browns River outlet.
• Your SURFGROM coaches will be introduced and get you sorted with a wetsuit and board.
• Ir required with numbers we will split the group into Minigroms 5-8 yo, and Supergroms 9-12 yo.
• The Mini Groms and Supergroms are then split into their skill level - Level 1-5.
• We start with some beach-based technique and surf safety info. We are big on getting it right on the beach and getting you ready to hit the waves.
• You then hit the waves in conditions suitable for your ability.
• We will surf as much as possible but also mix it up with some surf specific beach games and activities, also working on logbooks throughout the program.
• A feedback session with goals for next lesson will be done before getting changed.
• At the final session, we will tick off completed skills and knowledge in your logbook and award a skill level certificate, and other spot prizes.
