The Search for the Nations Best 16 and Under Groms Continues This Weekend as the Rip Curl Gromsearch Presented by Banzai Bowls Rolls Into the Kewalo Basin for Stop #2.
The Rip Curl Gromsearch Presented by Banzai Bowls Saw 168 of the Nation’s Top Groms Whittled Down to 16 Finalists After Two Days of Ripping Under the Towering Pilings of the Huntington Beach Pier.
With twenty years of Rip Curl GromSearch history, as well as celebrating fifteen years of International GromSearch Champions, today two surfers added their names to the prestigious winners list.
After two warm-up days enjoying the waves and beach life at stunning Playa Hermosa, Rip Curl GromSearch International finalists had a full day of competition surfing through qualifying and round one.
At the end of the competition it was Torquay’s Xavier Huxtable (AUS - Rip Curl athlete) and Kauai’s Keala Tomoda-Bannert (HAW) who came out on top, taking down the duo from the NSW Central Coast, Finn Hill (AUS - Rip Curl athlete) and Kirra-Belle Olsson (AUS - Rip Curl athlete).
