Super Groms Progression Course

Surf, Progress, Learn

Our 5 week ‘super Grom’ progression courses were created for the avid juniors that want to focus on fast tracking their surf progression. Theses courses are aimed at intermediate juniors who have ideally completed one of our beginner courses or who are capable of catching and riding waves in unaided.

These structured courses include classroom Theory sessions, fitness and professional surf coaching to aid the Groms in reaching their personal goals on their pathway to becoming skilled and experienced surfers.

These courses provide coaching through all stages of their surfing journey whether its improving their pop up, catching unbroken waves for the first time, learning to duck dive or learning new manoeuvres, right through to competitive surfing techniques. We will guide them through each new challenge with coaching both in and out of the water.

We introduced this course last year and were blown away by its success and the sense of reward seeing our fellow mini surfers rapidly progress and due to the high demand and need for more junior surf coaching we are looking forward to arranging many more courses in the years ahead.

All juniors are invited to become ‘Junior Surfing England members’ and work through levels 1-5 of the Junior Surf Scheme. Each member receives their own logbook plus certificates and badges for each level completed as well as worldwide personal insurance and various other discounts and benefits through Surfing England.

Becoming a ‘Surfing Engand’ member isn’t a strict policy by any means but we do find this scheme an excellent incentive for our juniors and one that also provides extra resources for them to continue working on and improving their surfing skills during and outside of our sessions.

Tori

Manager & Head Surf Coach

Known as Secretspot’s “Mother Hen,” Tori truly lives and breathes surfing. With over 20 years of surf experience, 16 years coaching, and 12 years as part of the Secretspot family, she plays a central role in everything we do. Tori manages all activities across the surf school and leads our coaching programme as Head Surf Coach, with a particular passion for junior development and performance surfing.

She created and leads our SuperGroms junior progression programme, helping young surfers build strong foundations and progress with confidence. Tori also delivers our advanced lessons, using video analysis, performance drills, and tailored coaching to support surfers looking to take their skills to the next level. Alongside this, she works as a Surfing England Coach Trainer Assessor, delivering coach courses here at Cayton Bay, and volunteers as a Team England Junior Squad Coach, supporting the next generation of competitive surfers.

You’ll probably recognise Tori from our socials, where she provides daily video surf reports, keeping the local community up to date with conditions and surf forecasts. Away from the water, she’s deeply involved in the local surf scene as the founder and chair of Scarborough Boardriders Club CIC and is often behind the scenes organising local surf contests, events, and socials.

During the busy summer months, Tori can be found at Cayton Bay day in, day out, making sure the surf school runs smoothly. When winter rolls around, she heads off to enjoy some free surfing at favourite destinations such as El Salvador, Bali and Ireland, before returning refreshed and ready for another season.

Paul "Tomo"

Owner

The backbone of our business, Tomo has grown up surfing Scarborough and has dedicated his life to the surf industry in the North East. With deep local knowledge and decades of experience in the water, he represents everything our surf school stands for: authenticity, expertise, and a genuine passion for the coastline we call home.

In 2008, Tomo took over the surf school from Ross and brought it together with Secretspot Surf Shop, established in 1989. As one of the oldest surf shops in the UK—and the largest in the North East—Secretspot has long been at the heart of the local surf community. Combining the two businesses was a natural progression, allowing Tomo to carry forward a shared ethos built on local knowledge, surf culture, and a lifelong love of Cayton Bay.

The philosophy has always been simple: run by surfers, for surfers. That means providing the best possible equipment, honest advice, and coaching rooted in real experience—whether you’re standing on a board for the first time or looking to progress your skills.

Known affectionately as our “Chief of Coasteering,” Tomo grew up exploring every nook and cranny of the East Coast. That lifelong familiarity with the coastline led him to become a trained coasteering instructor and to introduce coasteering to the Yorkshire Coast. Over the years, he has personally developed and led thousands of coasteering sessions, continually refining them to create the safe, professional, and unforgettable experiences we offer today.

Tomo’s depth of experience, commitment to safety, and passion for sharing the coastline are the foundation of everything we do.
