The Rip Curl Gromsearch Heads to Hawaii for Stop 2!

July 13th and 14th will see two action packed days of competition as 128 of Hawaii's juniors hit the lineup. Stop 2 on the GromSearch nation-wide tour has always been a season favorite, usually consisting of beautiful weather and fun, ripple, warm-water waves.

The event will see surfers compete for cash, prizes, bragging rights and… a coveted spot in the 2019 National Final at the BSR Surf Resort in Waco, Texas! Also, with a little GromSearch luck, it looks as Oahu will be serving up potentially all-time conditions for the weekend's competition. Official event forecast partner, Surfline, is calling for 3-5ft (Fair-Good) on Saturday and 5-7+ (Good) on Sunday, for what is sure to be a Finals Day for the record books.

With the best junior talent traveling from across the Hawaiian Islands, as well as a handful of mainlanders making the trek to Hawaii, the competition is looking stacked. Who will cement their spot in the first ever junior surf contest at the man-made BSR Surf Resort?
