The Australian series, set to feature numerous South Coast talents including Keira Buckpitt, will focus on providing junior surfers from around the country with a series of fun events allowing participants to enjoy surfing with their friends, as well as provide elite-level competition in a safe environment.
Each event will be run in conjunction with the state surfing associations and will adhere to the appropriate health and safety regulations.
Unfortunately, due to a shortened season, no GromSearch events will be held in South Australia and Western Australia this year, but events in those states will be re-assessed in due course.
The 2020 series, set to feature under 12 to under 16 boys and girls divisions, will include a GromSearch national ranking, allowing surfers to gain points for each result achieved.
The top-ranked surfers at the end of the three-event series (Newcastle - October 1-4, Melbourne - October 9 and Coolum - December 14-17) will qualify for the national final (in their respective divisions), which is scheduled for March.
