The Rip Curl GromSearch is a worldwide series of events designed especially for grommets. From Australia to America it gives groms the centre stage to show everyone what they’ve got.
The GromSearch series is all about getting male and female surfers down the beach with their friends to surf in a relaxed and fun environment.
At the same time it gives grommets the competitive experience needed for further development in their surfing careers.
The Australian series is made up of seven events around the nation with the winner of the premier 16’s division winning an all expenses paid invite to the Rip Curl Pro Surf & Music Festival at Bells around Easter.
The GromSearch series has seen some incredible surfers on the winners list including Stephanie Gilmore, Jordy Smith, Ben Dunn, Matt Wilkinson, Owen Wright, Sally Fitzgibbons and Laura Enever.
Entry is easy and available now so get onto it and who knows, you may end up winning a trip to the Rip Curl Pro at Bells.
