MINI GROMS
A safe, fun introduction to surfing for Mini Groms
At Central Coast Surf Academy, our Mini Groms sessions are the perfect introduction to surfing for children aged 4 – 8 years. These fun-filled sessions are designed to build water confidence, ocean safety awareness, and basic surf skills – all in a safe, supportive environment where parents and kids learn together.
Led by our team of professional, friendly Coaches, these sessions are as much about play and safety as they are about progress – helping young surfers thrive while building early positive experiences in the ocean.
Mini Groms is a short-term surf program that runs across 3 x 1-hour lessons. It’s specifically designed for younger children who are just getting started with surfing or who have a little experience and want to build confidence with other kids their age.
Parents also play an active role in each session – learning alongside their children how to support and supervise safely in the surf. Our Coaches guide both adults and kids through the process, making it a fun and educational experience for the whole family.
Mini Groms each receive a CCSA Mini Grom t-shirt as part of their package.
Throughout the three sessions, Mini Groms and their parents will learn:
- Surfing basics: warm ups, paddling, catching waves, standing up
- Ocean safety and beach awareness
- Safe entry and exit techniques
- Parent strategies for supporting your Mini Grom in the surf
- Confidence building through age-appropriate surf games and activities
Locations: Avoca Beach, MacMasters Beach, Copacabana Beach, Toowoon Bay, Shelly Beach, Terrigal Beach, Blue Lagoon
Duration: 3 x 1 hour lessons

Surfing at an early age should be about fun, safety and connection. Mini Groms provides a unique opportunity for young children to learn foundational surf skills in a calm, nurturing environment – while parents gain the knowledge and confidence to support their child’s surfing journey.
Our professional Coaches create small, age-specific groups that ensure every little surfer is seen, supported, and smiling from start to finish. It’s the perfect way to share the stoke as a family – and create memories that last long after the last wave.
