Level Requirements

Intermediate Groms

Surfers should be able to paddle out independently using turtle rolls or duck dives (no board ditching for safety), catch their own waves in small surf, and confidently pop up and turn on a fibreglass board.

If your child is not quite at this level, private coaching is available to help fast-track their development before joining a squad.

Advanced Groms

Surfers confidently ride small to medium conditions on open beaches, catch their own waves, and are ready for more advanced coaching.

Sessions are primarily coached from land, with video feedback used to support progression.

Coaching Approach

Sessions are tailored to both conditions and the needs of each group.

Each session includes:

  • Location selection based on best conditions

  • Structured session planning

  • In-water or land-based coaching (depending on level)

  • Individual feedback and progression focus

Footage is typically delivered within 24 hours to support ongoing learning.
