The Rip Curl Nationals Canada GromSearch is a series of events built for the most important surfers in the world … the grommets! Rip Curl has been running GromSearch since 1999. We want to continue to support the next generation of surfers with a fun and engaging series of events, at key surfing locations around the world.
The GromSearch series gives kids Under 16 years of age the opportunity to compete against the best surfers in the same age bracket from their country – and eventually, the world.
A global surf series, the winners of each regional National Final will be invited to compete in the GromSearch International Final
