2014 Rip Curl GromSearch International Championships
2014 ain’t a bad year to be grom. You’ve got an archive of TV shows and cartoons both old and new to watch. Breakfast cereal is better than ever. You’ve probably even figured out the way around your parent’s internet porn block. And, cherry on top, you get to surf a contest at one of the best waves in the world. The 2014 Rip Curl GromSearch International Championships just went off at Lakey Peak, emphasis on went off – the waves were better than anything we’ve seen on the WCT this year. And the surfing stepped right up to parallel those world-class conditions. The best 16-and-under surfers from Hossegor to Huntington vied for the title, but there can only be one champion. Well, two – one from the boys and one from the girls. Pat Curren and Brisa Hennessy filled those roles and we won’t bore you with any more words. There are 16 amazing photos up there. Click through and wish that you were 15 again.
