Cool Status With Their Kids
In Adelaide

3. Parenting can be a tough gig.
Between school, work, holidays, sports, finances, childcare,
health – the list goes on – it can be tricky to juggle all the
options of child-friendly activities in Adelaide.

4. Add to the mix is the concept that you as a parent will
never be ‘cool enough’ and it’s a one way ticket to
Dilemma-Ville.
If you’re searching for fun things to do with kids, we have
the answer to how parents can achieve cool status with
their kids in Adelaide.

5. Tell me more
Adelaide is a family-friendly city, but one of the biggest
gems of South Australia is the Fleurieu Peninsula.
A pleasant drive from Adelaide, it’s a great place to earn
some parenting brownie points by signing your kids up
for Surf Groms, children's surf lessons South Australia run
by Surf & Sun Surf School.

7. Surf Groms in a nutshell
Surf Groms is a National Development Program started by
Surfing Australia aimed at children aged 5-12 years.
Each lesson is 2 hours, so they’re perfect for kid’s
attention spans and burning off energy.
The progressive programs vary from 8-12 hours.

8. Why you should choose Surf & Sun
As an Australian company, we grew up at the beach! We
place importance on the ability to swim, and teach beach
and water safety.
Kids will gain an awareness of the ocean and
environment, and foster an appreciation for a healthy
lifestyle.

10. The benefits of a well-organized activity
Ever left home with 5 suitcases, toys, sports equipment
and all the extras and still wondered if you forgot
anything?
Parents are like NASA astronauts, they understand how
much stuff is needed for each mission.

11. Surf & Sun provides instructors, and all the equipment
(soft surfboards, wetsuit) so it saves you buying all the
sports gear and your child then changes their mind.
After registration, kids receive a cool Quiksilver or Roxy
backpack with goodies like caps, wax combs and
Vegemite.

13. As your child progresses through the different levels, they
receive wristbands to show their achievement.
There’s also a secure online site ‘Grom Room’ to connect
with other surfer kids – kind of like a Facebook for Surf
Kids!
Surf & Sun even include sun cream – a little bonus that’s
so important in the harsh Australian climate.

14. Equal fun for girls and boys
Surfing has traditionally been a male-dominated sport,
but the presence of top female surfers like Australians
Tyler Wright and Laura Enever on world surfing circuits
has increased exposure for the sport.
Surf & Sun encourages ‘girl power’ and Surf Groms is
open to all girls keen to try surfing.

15. Quality and safety are paramount
Surf & Sun has been operating and teaching surf lessons
in Middleton for over 12 years, and has Advanced Eco and
Tourism Accreditations.
Most importantly, they employ qualified, professional and
fun coaches to ensure your child’s safety, with surf rescue
and first aid certification and ‘working with children’
cards.
Program partners are Quiksilver, Vegemite, Roxy, Waku,
Nikon, AIS and Surfing Australia who provide strict
guidelines about operational quality and safety.

17. Extra tips for parents
Other fun suggestions for South Australia are biking,
snorkelling and boat cruises. Check out Fleurieu
Adventures as they have lots of hire options.
