30 June 2011, Kuta-Bali: Kuta Beach will once again host the annual Quiksilver King of the Groms South East Asian Final over the weekend of July 2nd and 3rd, the highly anticipated opportunity for Indonesia’s best Under 16 year old surfers to compete for the coveted “King of the Groms South East Asia” title and the rich reward of an all expense paid trip to France, where the lucky “King” will compete as one of only 18 other surfers from around the world in the King of the Groms International Final that will be held during the Quiksilver Pro in Hossegor France from October 4-13 this year.
Last year’s “King” was Quiksilver’s own junior surf team grom Andre Julian from Cimaja West Java. He was awed by the experience of traveling abroad, saying “it was so different than here in Indonesia, but so amazing. I got to see another country and meet many pro surfers too. I made a lot of new friends there and it really helped me to understand about professional surfing. It was an experience I will always remember.”
Over 60 grommets (surfer slang for young surfers in their teens and below) signed up to compete in last year’s event and those numbers are expected to be beaten this year during this national school holiday weekend. And it looks like there will be no shortage of great waves for the competition either, as the forecast shows a 2 to 2.5 meter swell being predicted throughout the weekend.
Making this year’s King of the Groms competition extra special is the attendence of several of pro surfing’s biggest legends, namely Mark Richards, Tom Carroll, Martin Potter, Cheyne Horan, and Jake Paterson, who will be hanging out at the beach watching the groms and signing posters on both days, as well as competing in a fun Locals and Legends surf competition on Sunday afternoon.
The King of the Groms SEA Final will be held during the inaugural Bali Big Eco Weekend, a combined effort on the part of Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia and Quiksilver Indonesia to educate the local and national public and heighten the awareness of the environmental issues facing Bali today.
In addition to the King of the Groms competition that will be run over the weekend attendees will also see a Lifesavers Race, tour the Eco Village, do surfboard painting, listen to live music by The Hydrant, Dialog Dini Hari, Bondan, and Fade 2 Black, watch movies on the beach, help with beach cleanups and turtle releases, as well as win prizes like Surf Packs (Mark Richards and Jake Paterson surfboards) and more.
Don’t miss out on the biggest weekend of the year at Kuta Beach, as all your friends and favorite people are sure to be there too.
