Everybody around here comments how many groms there are surfing every day at Bondi. Some say it with great disdain (I think they forget two of them are mine) – but others smile with stoke, as the future looks bright for surfers at Bondi competitively.
In my whole 25 years of Aquabumps (yes, 2-five), I’ve never seen so many highly talented little people shredding the ripbowls of our beloved beach. This cohort coming through is high on vibe and enthusiasm; they’re noisy and VERY competitive with one another, driving them to push their skills.
I’ve never seen so much coaching going down, either. Our shoreline has filmmakers capturing every wave and replaying it back in slo-mo, with coaches’ critique. It’s like golf coaching, slo-mo, improving your swing with every stroke.
What’s important is that the kids have a ball (without any screens) and exert themselves before school to settle better in class. My kids are like me; they have endless energy, so it takes a bit to wear them down!
It’s smaller today, 1-2 feet, perfect for the little humans. Sunny, 22 and rain coming tomorrow.

P.S. we’re making changes around here, new brand, new look…this is just a test of the new template!
I really dig the new email template Uge 😉
I like how you keep up to date changing up to keep us all interested. Yes Groms in all aspects of our life need to keep appearing otherwise there will be too much space on the beach. I don’t like your new “A” to me it is facing backwards and you are always moving forward with your business. I let you wonder about it
