Created in Torquay, Australia, in 1999, the Rip Curl GromSearch is a competition exclusively reserved for young surfers, boys and girls, aged under 16, which has a unique character. It takes place simultaneously in several regions of the world: Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, New Zealand, the United States and Europe, culminating in an international final which traditionally takes place "somewhere" in the spring.
The Rip Curl GromSearch is a veritable breeding ground for young talents, which has revealed future world champions such as Stephanie Gilmore (7 times world champion and current world no. 1 in women's surfing), the Brazilian prodigy and 2014 WSL world champion & 2018 Gabriel Medina, and many more.
