GROM CLUB
Grom club is all about kids having fun whilst learning to surf or progressing to their next level.We are hoping to be back again in 2021! This page gives you some more information about clubs and will be updated in the new year. Our grom club has grown! For the last 3 years we’ve regularly had over 20 kids join our sessions.
WHY GROM CLUB?
It’s a place to learn to surf or improve in a fun, supportive and supervised session. It’s also a great way to stay active and meet new friends. When it’s flat we still go in the water and do things like build surfboard bridges! At the end of the year we have a mega fun session where we celebrate what we’ve learnt and there’s usually free hot chocolate involved.
A lot of kids that come to club want to surf for fun and that’s absolutely what we’re about.
If a child wants to compete though we’ll also encourage and help them with this too.
