Groms school holiday camp
DECEMBER 14th - 17th 2026 & JANUARY 11th - 14th 2027
-
We have 3 seperate abilities at each camp.
Beginner: This is for groms new to the sport or just starting their surfing journey. They may have done a couple of lessons and still riding foam boards only. We teach them correct technique for popping up, riding whitewash waves and learning basic fundamental skills. They will be catching their own small waves by the end of the camp.
Advanced Beginner: This group is a mix of foam boards and fibreglass boards and is best suited to groms who are able to surf out the back in waves up to shoulder high (2ft). We discuss basic turning, riding small unbroken waves and catching waves independently.
Intermediate: This group is best suited to groms who are able to independently paddle out the back and catch waves up to 3-4ft+. They often have a coach in the water, but the main coaching aspect of this group is video analysis.
If uncertain which group your grom may belong in, please contact us!
