If you’re a parent who loves surfing but find it’s hard to enjoy the water once motherhood takes over your life. Keep reading, as surfing mums are getting back into the ocean all over Australia while their children are being looked after for as little as $1.00 per week. Two mum’s in Byron Bay, who took turns watching each other’s children so they could enjoy a surf, decided that other mums could benefit too. So in 2008 ‘Surfing Mums Australia ‘was born. Since then they have grown to approximately x40 groups in Queensland, New South Wales, Victory and Western Australia.

My morning with Surfing Mums Gold Coast was life changing. Having made contact on Facebook Groups, I spent the morning with some great mums at Rainbow Bay, Gold Coast. During a typical Queensland 36-degree heatwave it was great to cool down in the ocean surrounded by a beautiful coastline which is suitable for beginners and intermediate surfers because it has three points that create one of the world’s longest right-hander. Wearing Ocean Road Swimwear’s sun safe rash guards and swim shorts they showed me just how much fun Gold Coast surfing mum’s have.

Believing that you’re never too old to enjoy yourself and having spent the morning watching mum’s surfing waves, I decided it was my turn to grab a surfboard and give it a go. Thank you Surf Easy for taking me for my first ‘Learn To Surf’ lesson on the Gold Coast. It was so much fun, although I will never win any surfing completions and have had more wipe outs than most middle aged ladies, I had the best workout ever.

Many women are choosing to stay fit after parenthood by surfing, whether they are new to the sport or accomplished veterans. Groups such as ‘Surfing Mums Australia’ are helping ladies from all over Australia to connect with others in similar situations and continue to enjoy a sport that they love.
“Guilt free me time doing what I love while my son has a ball running amuck on the beach, it’s a win/win!”
“Surfing Mums keeps me anchored when I feel like I’m a drift on the sea of life. Surfing Mums has taught me to not to fight the waves of life, but to learn to surf them and go with the flow.”
“Surfing Mums is knowing that no matter how my week has been with my baby I get a dedicated hour to myself that I know I deserve.”
