The Rip Curl GromSearch is back

MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The first event will be held in Mossel Bay on 9 and 10 April.

Kane Johnson of Mossel Bay is hoping to do well in his home town.

"We're very pleased to have the Rip Curl GromSearch series going again, and we have plans for the future of this series," said Rip Curl South Africa CEO Stuart Daykin.

"We are excited to start the 2022 series with the event in Mossel Bay." The contest includes U12s, U14s, U16s and U18s.

Mossel Bay has several breaks around the Inner Pool and Outer Pool area at the Point. Both waves are high-performance right-handers, ideal for a competition of this nature.

The series will move to Magnatubes in Jeffreys Bay before the final event at Scottburgh in KwaZulu-Natal during the second half of the year.

"The Rip Curl GromSearch contests are an iconic series of events for young surfers held in every corner of the globe," said Surfing South Africa general manager Robin de Kock.

"Surfing South Africa is proud to be part of the Rip Curl GromSearch this year. We look forward to presenting these contests at some special South African venues, starting with the SAST Prime Rip Curl GromSearch in Mossel Bay."
