About:

The worldwide series is held for male and female surfers aged 16 years and under, commonly referred to as "groms", with the aim of the GromSearch is to nurture and recruit the next generation of surfers at a grassroots level. The 2020/21 Rip Curl GromSearch National Final presented by Banzai Bowls is officially on: May 8th, 2021.

Event guide:

The National Championship at BSR, Waco, is a 1 day invitation only event.

Update in August 2020:
While the original scheduled slated the National Final to take place on October 10th, due to the ongoing pandemic, Rip Curl working alongside BSR Resort have officially postponed the event to March 2021. Allowing an additional six months in time will ideally ensure a much safer and welcoming environment to host the Nation’s top talent.
With the event postponed, Rip Curl will honor the qualifying surfer’s ages from 2020 to stay in the same age division heading into the rescheduled National Final for 2021. The event will have a tight capacity highlighting the elite winners that earned 1st place scores; 16/U Boy’s, 16/U Girl’s, 14/U Boy’s, and 12/U Boy’s, as well as the top four scores from the Banzai Bowls Airshow, and top four scores of the PerfectSwell Barrel Shoot Out presented by GoPro.
