NRMA Insurance SurfGrom - Weekly Program

Encounter Bay, located on South Australia’s southern coastline, is a dynamic playground where ocean meets sandstone cliffs and rolling surf breaks. At this vibrant shore, Kombi Surf - SurfGroms offers the NRMA Insurance SurfGrom weekly program, a uniquely engaging surf and stand-up paddleboarding initiative tailored for children aged 5 to 12. The program transforms the beach into a lively classroom where fun group games and hands-on skill drills build confident, ocean-savvy young adventurers.

Unlike typical surf schools, SurfGroms emphasizes ocean awareness and beach safety alongside athletic skill development. Kids progress through five skill levels, learning everything from wave reading and paddle techniques to essential surf survival and basic first aid. This dual focus prepares participants not just to ride waves, but to understand and respect the ocean environment they engage with daily.

Encounter Bay itself offers an ideal setting for this kind of program. The beach’s relatively consistent, beginner-friendly waves and wide sandy shores create a safe space for novices to gain experience. The nearby granite headlands and native coastal vegetation enrich the outdoor experience, grounding lessons in a setting as educational as it is inspiring.

The program’s weekly structure encourages steady progression, making it a standout choice for families looking to invest in their child’s outdoor skills over time. Kombi Surf - SurfGroms integrates community and encouragement at its core, fostering positive attitudes about nature and active living alongside skill mastery. For families visiting South Australia, this program offers a hands-on way for young ones to build confidence in the water and develop lifelong respect for the ocean.

Kombi Surf’s dedicated instructors create an approachable, supportive space that turns the local surf culture into a real adventure for rising grommets.
