Highlights from the 2024 Rip Curl GromSearch International Final Covered by Sun Bum The 2024 Rip Curl GromSearch International Final covered by Sun Bum, wrapped up in Bali today with incredible waves and hifi performances at Pererenan Beach, solidifying its reputation as the premier event for young surfing talent around the globe. The event saw the UK’s Lukas Skinner successfully defend his title in the 16 & Under Boys division, while the USA’s Eden Walla claimed victory in the 16 & Under Girls. Lukas Skinner’s journey to the final was nothing short of extraordinary. Along the way, he scored a perfect 10, showcasing his exceptional skill with a flawless alley-oop into a carve, finishing with a clean air reverse. In the nail-biting final, Lukas faced off against Spain’s Dylan Donegan, pushing the limits of competitive surfing. Lukas was trailing for most of the final, but caught one of the biggest waves of the day at the end, launching a huge straight air to seal the deal with a 9.33. “Man, it means the world to me,” said Lukas. “Dylan had me on the ropes. We both got two eights, and he scored higher on both, but I knew I had to go big on my next chance. I’ve been struggling to beat Dylan all year—he pushes me so much—and I’m stoked to finally get him.” In the 16 & Under Girls division, American Eden Walla emerged victorious, overcoming an in-form Ziggy Mackenzie from Australia in the final. Eden’s composed performance in the high-pressure format was a testament to her poise and talent. “I think my dad was more nervous than me, but the man-on-man format is nerve-racking,” said Eden. “It was such a cool experience surfing in this CT format, and I’m so happy with the win.” Another highlight included surf legends Steph Gilmore, Molly Picklum and Rosy Hodge taking over commentary on the live webcast for the day. The trio had plenty to talk about, including Spain’s Carla Morera placing equal third in the girls division at just 13 years old, and Aussie Ben Zanatta Creagh throwing elite rail surfing all day, to make it to the boy’s semi finals. The Rip Curl International GromSearch is more than just a competition; it is a launching pad for future professional surfing stars. Two-thirds of current Championship Tour (CT) surfers are former GromSearch competitors, underscoring the event’s significance in shaping the careers of some of the most successful surfers of all time. #RipCurl #GromSearch #Bali Explore more from Rip Curl: https://www.ripcurl.com
