In order to prepare for the celebration of Indonesia’s Independence Day on August 17, the Pacitan Groms Foundation held a “Pacitan Groms Surf Fun & Beach Clean” event on Teleng Ria Beach in Pacitan on Sunday August 16th.
The day was all about the groms and giving them a complete day of fun, not only having a surf contest but also playing a bunch of traditional games, a beach clean up, and the formal announcement of the newly established Pacitan Groms Foundation.
The day started early at 6:30 am with about 30 enthusiastic groms showing up at the beach and lining up to register. They were in great spirits and super stoked on the 2 foot glassy waves rolling in at the Right Point Harbor Jetty, and although some of them were just learning to surf so got rolled a few times during their heats, they kept paddling back out to try again and had a blast.
One of the most excited of the groups was the girls division, as they were competing in hopes of winning a trip to Bali from Surfer Girl. The winner and a chaperone would be sent to Bali to participate in the Surfer Girl Big Splash on September 24 and 25, a very cool prize and a great opportunity to see Bali!
But the boy’s Under 16 and Under 14 divisions were no less exciting, as there were so many great product prizes from Billabong, Rusty and Quiksilver that everyone one of them wanted to come home with.
There were also prizes for the games like the sack races, so even the non-surfing kids had a chance to get cool and original surf brand products. After the surfing competition was completed, everybody participated in a beach cleanup and were given booklets created by the GUS Foundation in Bali on how to take care of the beach and dispose of trash properly.
And all during the day the kids never got dehydrated or had to be thirsty, because Coca-Cola was there to give them all the Powerade Isotonic that they could drink…all for free!
A big THANKS to all the event sponsors: The Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championships (ISC), Coca-Cola Bottling Indonesia, Surfer Girl, Billabong, Rusty, Quiksilver, Magic Wave Surf Community Newspaper, SurfTime Magazine and Gelombang Udara Segar (GUS)…and special thanks to Tim Hain for all the support.
GO INDONESIA’S GROMMETS!!!
