Seal Point Boardriders Surf Club will hold a Grom Comp and surf lessons this Saturday, 17 May 2025. The grom session will run from 9 to 12, and entry is free for the groms. The Grom Comp and Surf Lessons are run by Lucky Fish
The Seal Point Boardriders Club consistently runs surf contests throughout the year to inspire our younger surfers, teach them about competitive surfing, and have a good time with their friends. The contests are fun events and social outings for the parents.
Billy’s Beach and Rotary Club Of St Francis
The Seal Point Boardriders Club has enjoyed tremendous support from Billy’s Beach and the Rotary Club Of St Francis. For the last two years, the Rotary Club Of St Francis has handed out donations to the club on behalf of Billy’s Beach. The funds have been used to purchase an EAD machine, for First Aid courses for members, and to help the club buy equipment to enable the contest to run smoothly. SPBRC is grateful for these generous donations.
Furthermore, local businesses, including The Bakery, The Brewery, Pig & Rooster, The Store, Full Stop Cafe, and many others, have also supported the events. They have helped to feed the hungry groms and supply them with wax, suncream, and other necessities.
What Are Groms, or Grommets?
Grom Definition by The Urban Dictionary
Surfer slang (although it also extends to other board sports and surf sports) for a young surfer. It can also be used to refer to children in general, although they usually have some association with surfing, etc.
Although the term usually has no ill meaning, it is often used to poke fun at younger surfers. It can sometimes be a derogatory term when younger surfers are annoying, bad, or otherwise problematic.
Also, It is frequently abbreviated to grom.
