The O’Shea Grom Windsurf Rig is a specialized, lightweight sail package designed specifically to get the next generation of windsurfers on the water. Recognizing that standard adult rigs are often too heavy and cumbersome for children, O’Shea has engineered the Grom Rig to be exceptionally manageable, allowing kids to learn the fundamentals of uphauling, steering, and tacking with ease. Whether used on a dedicated windsurf board or an inflatable Wind-SUP, this rig is the perfect tool for building confidence and ensuring that a child’s first experience with wind-driven sports is one of pure fun and progression.
The rig is built for durability and ease of use, featuring a high-quality Dacron sail that can withstand the rigours of learning. The package is completely comprehensive, including a lightweight mast, an easy-to-grip boom, and a mast base—all scaled specifically for smaller hands and lower body weights. Available in a wide variety of sizes from 1.0m² up to 5.5m², the Grom Rig can be perfectly tailored to a child’s age and ability level. Simple to assemble and easy to transport, this rig is a "must-have" for any family looking to maximize their "brine time" and share the passion for windsurfing with their kids.

Expert Advice: When choosing a size for the Grom Rig, the most common mistake is going too big too soon. For a child's very first time, a 1.0m or 1.5m sail is often plenty; it’s light enough that they won't get tired uphauling, which keeps the "fun factor" high. If they are already comfortable or a bit older, the 2.5m or 3.0m sizes offer great room for progression. This rig is the perfect partner for the O'Shea Grom 7'10" QSx or any Wind-SUP with a center fin—the center fin is crucial for kids as it prevents them from drifting downwind while they are learning to steer.
