Each lesson fosters a supportive environment while teaching essential ocean skills, beach safety, and surf awareness, ensuring a memorable experience that combines skill-building with enjoyment.
About
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 Woolworths SurfGroms lesson is designed purposefully to create a positive and supportive learning environment.
