After the long trek to Padang in West Sumatra for GromSearch 2 last month, the Rip Curl GromSearch crew will island-hop from Bali over to world famous Lakey Peak in Sumbawa for GromSearch 3, taking place on Sunday, April 5.
Lakey Peak is home of several of the Rip Curl Surf Team members including Ony Anwar, Dedi Gun, Muhlis Jaffar and Andre, so expect the competition to be heavy as the boys and girls of Sumbawa take on the challenge of becoming the next superstar to come out of Lakey Peak! Last years Lakey Peak Local and national GromSearch winner, Gazali Hamzah, will be taking on the worlds best groms, this April 7th, at the Bells Beach GromSearch finals.
The contest at Lakey Peak is a continuation of the search to find not only Sumbawa’s hottest grommet, but Indonesia’s hottest grommet. The winner of GromSearch 3 at Sumbawa will be flown to Bali to compete in the Bali National Final in October, where he or she will battle it out with the other GromSearch 2009 series winners for the final “Ticket to Australia”. All the event winners will also receive an invitation to participate in the Rip Curl National Training camp before the National Final that takes place at Kuta Beach this coming October.
There are two categories of competition in each local event, Under 14 years of age and Under 16 years of age. These divisions are open to both boys and girls.
The winner of the Indonesian GromSearch National Final will receive a “Ticket to Australia” to compete with other GromSearch National Final winners at the world famous Bells Beach in Australia. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
