Rip Curl GromSearch, Seal Point, Cape St Francis, 23/24 July

Cape St Francis – The second contest in the 2022 Rip Curl GromSearch Series will take place at Seal Point this weekend, and entries are closed. The Rip Curl GromSearch contest is presented by Sea Harvest and supported by The Cape St Francis Resort. 

The first event in the series took place at Victoria Bay and was a fantastic competition and a huge success.  The second contest in the series looks to be another exciting tournament for the best junior surfers in the country. Many division winners from the first event will be competing in this event in a bid to go two in a row. These include Scottburgh’s Leah and Louise Lepront, Mikey Todd, (CT), local surfer Rory Dace and Joel Fowles (CT).

 

The Rip Curl GromSearch series allows kids to compete against the best surfers in the same age bracket from their country. This format provides these groms with an insight into a life of competitive surfing and gives them the invaluable experience of surfing and competing in different waves around the country.

 

 It is a Premier SAST event, with 1,000 points going to the winners and prizemoney per Premier events. There is currently a plan to stream the final day live, and details will be announced as soon as it is confirmed.
