The coastal town of Cape St Francis is set to host the grand finale of the highly anticipated Rip Curl GromSearch, drawing the best junior surfers from across South Africa. The tournament will take place from 29 September - 1 October. This year, the spotlight shines brightly on the Premier U16 division, where the winners will not only claim the coveted Winner's Trophy but also walk away with a handsome R6,000 cash prize.

Seal Point's waves have a reputation for being good during this time of the year, making it the perfect venue for the climax of the GromSearch series and an ideal canvas for these young talents to showcase their skills and push the boundaries of their abilities.

The contest receives invaluable support from The Cape St Francis Resort, a local establishment that recognizes the importance of nurturing and promoting young talent in the world of surfing.

The Rip Curl GromSearch series has firmly established itself as the premier junior surfing competition series in South Africa. It provides a crucial platform for these budding surfers to test their mettle against their peers and gain valuable competitive experience. Moreover, it serves as a stepping stone for many on the path to becoming professional surfers.

Rip Curl's unwavering support for the GromSearch series underlines their dedication to fostering the growth of surfing in South Africa. Beyond this junior competition, Rip Curl continues investing in the country's surfing community by sponsoring a dynamic team of surfers representing the brand at local and international events.

The Rip Curl GromSearch has become a cherished tradition in the South African surfing calendar, and next year will be the third year of the series, with more to come.
