SUP Surf Group Class

Cronulla, a vibrant coastal suburb just south of Sydney, Australia, offers a dynamic setting for water sports with its consistent surf breaks and sheltered bays. At the heart of this outdoor playground, Cronulla Standup Paddleboard Shop & School has established itself as a premier destination for Standup Paddleboard (SUP) surf lessons and community engagement since 2009. Founded by Todd “Mingo” Mingramm, a respected local surfer and former World Qualifying Series athlete, the school combines deep surfing knowledge with formal SUP coaching credentials, a rare blend that sets it apart locally and nationally.

The SUP Surf Group Class is more than just a lesson — it’s an invitation to master wave riding on a paddleboard in a supportive and energetic environment. These sessions cater to both novices keen to catch their first waves and seasoned riders aiming to refine their technique. Led by Australia’s first fully qualified SUP instructors, participants receive tailored coaching that addresses individual skill levels while balancing group dynamics.

This approach ensures progress and confidence whether paddling out for the first time or sharpening edge control on rolling waves. Cronulla’s unique coastal geography fuses sandy beach breaks with rocky headlands fringed by native coastal flora, creating an engaging backdrop for the SUP experience. The area’s temperate waters and reliable swell provide excellent conditions almost year-round.

Beyond the waves, the community-oriented spirit of Cronulla Standup Paddleboard fosters connection — with the ocean, with fellow paddlers, and with a culture that values both progression and fun. For travelers seeking an active, coastal immersion in an authentic Aussie surf town, Cronulla SUP offers a customized gateway to paddling mastery and memorable ocean adventure in New South Wales.
