About:

The Rip Curl GromSearch is a worldwide series of events designed for grommets. The GromSearch Series runs in more than 10 countries, with over 3,000 competitors worldwide.

Event guide:

**Update on January 8: Rip Curl in conjunction with Surfing Victoria have made the difficult decision to cancel the Rip Curl GromSearch that was set to be held next week on the Surf Coast due to the rising cases of COVID in the community. With rising cases in the region putting pressure on the health system, restaurants, supermarkets and families, we felt that running an event that gathers over 100 people together is not the right thing to do. Rip Curl and Surfing Victoria apologies for any inconvenience caused. All competitors will receive a full refund in the coming weeks. Further information will be distributed to competitors on selection for the National Final to be held later in the year.**

Some incredible surfers have come through the series including current WSL World Tour athletes Gabriel Medina, Stephanie Gilmore, Italo Ferreira, Carissa Moore, Jordy Smith, Owen Wright, Sally Fitzgibbons, Kolohe Andino, and Filipe Toledo.
