Kids these days....Rip!

In episode 2 of Grom Games, get to know the surfing of Alan Cleland Jr. and the first female on Grom Games, Miss Caroline Marks.

Join six of the best 14-year-old surfers in the world on an epic trip to Bali. Getting barreled, punting airs, exploring the Uluwatu caves, hucking themselves over the falls in 6-foot shorebreak...the Groms captured it all.

At the end of the trip, they each made an edit with their footage and submitted it to GoPro's Anthony Walsh and the SURFING staff for review. The winner got valuable Grom Games points and arguably even more valuable USD ($1,000!).

2016 Rip Curl GromSearch National Final presented by Banzai Bowls - Seaside Reef, CA

After months of qualifying events spanning from California, to Hawaii, Florida, North Carolina and now back to California, the 2016 Rip Curl GromSearch presented by Banzai Bowls has officially wrapped up its season. With 64 hungry qualifiers with one goal in common, the action was through the roof at Seaside Reef over the weekend. A mixed bag of 2-3 foot surf was on offer as new moon tides showed many faces of conditions for the Nation’s top talent. In the end four National Champions were crowned, as they were awarded with $500, massive prize bags, bragging rights for a year, and the lucky 16/U division winners earned the all expense paid invitation to compete in the RCGS International Final, set to be held ‘somewhere on The Search’ in the Spring of 2017.

Congratulations to National Champions; Kade Matson, Caroline Marks, Malakai Martinez, and Jackson Bunch!
