How Parents Can Achieve Cool Status With Their Kids

In Adelaide

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.

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. 

Tell me moreAdelaide 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.

Surf Groms in a nutshellSurf 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.

Why you should choose Surf & SunAs 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.

The benefits of a well-organized activityEver 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.

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.

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.

Equal fun for girls and boysSurfing 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.

Quality and safety are paramountSurf & 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.
