Surf Sports Nipper Training is the brainchild of former Uncle Toby's Surf Ironman, Scott Thomson and swim school operator & surf coach (Bondi's resident mermaid), Joanna (Mermaid) Kyriazakos.

 

Now in its first year, this form of intensive holiday training is quickly becoming a 'must do' for many of Sydney's nippers.

 

We cater for:

  • Under 8 nippers moving on to Board Paddlling and Surf Swim events.
  • All Nipper levels up to under 12s looking to improve skills in all three areas of nipper competition.
  • Non-SLSA Nipper members interested trialling SLSA activities (are any of these sports fun for you???)
  • Anyone interested in becoming surf aware, improve competence in the surf or participating in fitness activities related to surf.
  • Kids looking to increase their fitness levels, and get more active whilst having lots of fun!
