Held at the world-class beach breaks of Hossegor in the South of France, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!
The #GromSearchOnline competition is open to any grom under the age of 16*, located anywhere on the planet. Terms and conditions of entry can be found here

The Rip Curl GromSearch has been a launching pad for greatness for over two decades:
- 2025 WSL World Tour: Over 60% of current CT athletes are former GromSearch winners.
- Olympics: Five of the six medalists at the last two Olympic Games competed in Rip Curl GromSearch.
- WSL World Champions: The last 18 WSL Women’s World Titles have been won by GromSearch finalists.
Past winners include WSL World Champions Caitlin Simmers, Caroline Marks, and Gabriel Medina. Other legendary winners include Championship Tour surfers Erin Brooks, Brisa Hennessy, Samuel Pupo, Leonardo Fioravanti, Tatiana Weston-Webb, Owen Wright, and one of the most stylish free surfers on the planet, Mason Ho, among many many more.
