Specifically designed for children between 3 to 8 years of age, the 26” Mini Grom Cuttlefish model is the ideal way for parents to introduce surfing to their kids in a fun, controlled and onland environment with a Smoothstar Surfskate Surf Trainer.
Children are now surfing earlier and younger than ever before. We wanted to create a SmoothStar model designed for children with lighter in weight and shorter in surf stance. Using the Mini Grom model, children will be able to repetitively practice surfing on land while perfecting their balance and movement without necessarily having to go to the ocean.
Apart from the deck size, what sets this model apart from all our other SmoothStar boards is the Mini Thruster located at the front of the board. The Mini Thruster is a revolutionary patented front turning truck that helps simulate how a surfboard turns and moves in the water. It contains soft rubbers inside the turning mechanism instead of springs. This makes it more responsive and easier to turn left and right.
By using the SmoothStar Mini Grom, children will improve their balance, stance, body movement, and learn the basic principles of turning on a surfboard while having fun. Children will have the opportunity to practice their bottom hand turns, which is the first step of progression towards getting the most out of their surfing.
