SA hosts the Woolworths Surfer Groms comp this weekend. The elite event will see male and female surfers competing in five different age divisions, starting at Under-8 right through to Under-16.
The 50+ competitors are expected to hit the beach at Day Street Middleton this Saturday at 8 am. The forecast looks good and besides the surfing, we have plenty of beach games and entertainment planned for the young participants. Keep an eye on Surfing SA socials for event updates.
Regarded as one of the major steppingstones in the development of young Australian surfers, the 10-event Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps series caters to surfers from Under 8 to Under 14 and will be held in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania, and South Australia over summer.
As an added bonus, the respective winners of the Under 14 boys’ and girls’ divisions from each event will receive an invite to attend an all-expenses-paid, three-day Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps National Final Surf Camp, (1-day coaching clinic, two days of competition and heat analysis coaching) at the Surfing Australia High-Performance Centre (HPC). For the South Australian, Victorian and Tasmanian events, the Woolworths Surf Camp prize will be awarded to the highest place Under-14 Boy and Girl who reside in that respective state.
