The Billabong Oz Grom Cup is one of the most prestigious grom comps in Australia, luring the best juniors from every state to the banana coast for the 5-day period. Thanks to the Coffs Harbour Boardriders crew and local hero (event director) Lee Winkler for bringing the event to life.
9 new champions were crowned in playful 2-3 foot waves at Park Beach, Coffs Harbour. Gold Coast natural footer Jackson Graham saved his best performance for last as he took down some huge names to claim the blue ribbon 16 & Under boys division, scoring himself a near perfect 9.50 ride on his way to securing the title. Charli Hurst utilised her power surfing to steer herself to one of the biggest wins of her young career, posting a respectable 12.6 two wave heat total to claim the girls 16 & Under title.
