SURFGROMS
It’s here!
Midwest Surf School is going to be a delivery centre for Surfing Australia’s innovative government funded grassroots surfing program called SurfGroms
. SurfGroms will be providing instruction for some of the 10,000 five to twelve year olds in the next 5 months.
Owner/operator of Midwest Surf School, Keith Roffman notes “the immediate benefits of SurfGroms include exposing kids to a safe and healthy beach activity that will inspire them to respect the ocean and keep fit. The long term payoff of SurfGroms will be in a few years time when participants progress past the grassroots level of involvement into competition ranks at Geraldton Boardriders (GBR) and then continue to let Australia dominate the worlds at surfing elite.”
An introductory cost of $190 puts SurfGroms as the best value for money surf instruction ever run in Geraldton. The 8 qualified lessons will include 12 hours of coaching, a Quiksilver backpack that includes a rashie, towel, shirt, cap and Wahu beach toys. Midwest Surf School will also provide links to local surf industry and other incentives. He also wants to reintroduce a Junior competition day with GBR.
The SurfGroms website, http://www.surfgroms.com will go live on September 7th, 2011. Registration for SurfGroms is completely online with Surfing Australia setting up an amazing national website to deal with the huge volume of traffic that expected to be 300,000 unique hits daily for the first week.
