SURF SCHOOLS In 2013 the Surfing Queensland Surf School network continued to introduce the healthy and active sport of surfing to participants from all over the world. Affiliated Surfing Queensland Surf Schools set the benchmark and offer access to friendly, highly skilled and informed coaches who can ensure you learn valuable skills while you have fun. In 2013, the Surfing Queensland-affiliated Surf School network serviced over 75,000 participants through its learn to surf programs stretching along the Queensland coastline from Coolangatta to Yeppoon. The introduction of the Surfing Australia Surf Groms program has defined the way that junior participation programs should be approached. Within its first year of activation, Surf Groms has seen more than 8000 junior participants take part in this structured development program. Surfing Queensland-accredited coaches are real surfers, accredited by the National Coaching Accreditation Council to teach real surfing.
