Granny Grommets Ride the Waves of Inspiration
On Western Australia’s southern coast, the Granny Grommets—a spirited group of women aged 50 and over—have been riding the waves at Middleton Beach, Albany, for 25 years. Founded by Kim Buttfield, the group fosters friendship and fun through weekly bodyboarding sessions, offering a softer alternative to surfing. With over 100 local members, the Grommets have become an emblem of positive ageing.
