Grom 2.0 Sessions

Your little shredder has mastered the basics β€” now it’s time to take things to the next level!
Grom 2.0 is designed for riders aged 7–12 who’ve completed several Grom Squad sessions and are confidently doing laps on a wakeboard at this park.

This progression-style session focuses on building skills, confidence, and style as young riders start learning how to approach and hit features like boxes and kickers. With hands-on coaching, a supportive vibe, and a focus on safe progression, Grom 2.0 helps kids push their limits β€” and discover how fun wakeboarding can really be!

The Goal:

To bridge the gap between Grom Squad and General Public IntermediateΒ sessions, giving our young riders the skills (and stoke!) to ride features with confidence and style.

Disclaimer: No Golf buggy service for this one as we prepare the grommets for the normal cable sessions. Limited to 20 spots. Valid for the 3 month pass. Board with boots to hit the features is not included and available for hire for additional $20 per session per person.Β

What people are saying

Great activity for kids!

Fun for kids of any age. Great exercise when you want to get the kids out of the house. Can do in most kinds of weather (they're wet anyway!) and the cafe does the best hot chips!

We love Wakehouse Mackay

We love going to Wakehouse Mackay ! Always a great vibe, sitting back and watching the riders. Good food, good coffee, clean facilities.

Our daughter recently tried Grom Squad and the young guys teaching the kids were excellent. Spoke so well with the parents and the kids and were patient and encouraging to them.

One of our fave places in Mackay

One of our favorite places to go in Mackay - great atmosphere, amazing staff and HEAPs of fun! It's really worth scheduling a brunch or a few arvo drinks at the Wakehouse.
