Rip Curl GromSearch returns to the roots at Padma Beach, Bali this weekend

June 6, 2012

Kuta, Bali, Indonesia – After three successful years at the long cobblestone right point break of Medewi, the Rip Curl GromSearch will return to Padma Beach in Kuta for the Bali leg of the 2012 Rip Curl GromSearch Series on Sunday, June 10.

After scoring incredible – and sometimes heavy – waves and discovering a whole new pack of dedicated groms at the first two GromSearch events of the season in Pacitan, Java and Lakey Peak, Sumbawa, the Rip Curl crew brings the fun to Bali for stop No. 3 of the 2012 Rip Curl Southeast Asia GromSearch Series.

The Bali GromSearch is always a hotbed of talent and sees the top grom surfers from all over the island, including Kuta, Legian, Uluwatu, Serangan, Nusa Dua, and Keramas, show up to strut their stuff. Last year's Southeast Asia GromSearch Series champion, Ediana Putra, began his journey to Bells Beach and the Rip Curl International GromSearch Final, by qualifying at the Bali GromSearch.

Last year's Bali GromSearch saw a record turnout as some 70 groms signed up for the day’s competition in Medewi. The majority of them came from the Bali area, but there were even some international groms from Australia, Brazil, Hawaii, Portugal, and Sweden. This year keep an eye out for flaring groms like Raju Sena (Padma), Koko Mitsuantara (Nusa Dua) and Tommy Sobri (Pecatu).

The youngsters will be surfing in the footsteps of some amazing surfers who have emerged from Padma's storied sandbars, including Bali surfing legend Made Kasim, original member of the Black Shorts surf crew Ketut Jarut, and brothers Darmaputra and Darmayasa Tonjo.

“Padma is such a good wave for developing your surfing,” Rip Curl team rider Darmaputra Tonjo said. “It can be all types of a wave: left, right, barrel, air section. I'm excited to see how the best grom surfers in Bali perform at my home break on Sunday.”

At stake for the Under-16 groms competing at Padma is the coveted “Ticket to Bali.” The winner and the runner-up in the Under-16 division will receive an all-expenses paid trip to compete in the Rip Curl SEA GromSearch Final, held during the Rip Curl Surf and Music Festival at Kuta Beach, Bali, Oct. 20-21.

There is no entrance fee for participation in Rip Curl GromSearch events, and all contestants receive a free Rip Curl goody bag, Rip Curl T-shirt and hat. They are also given instruction on environmental issues by local environmental group GUS (Yasasan Gelombang Udara Segar), as well as the chance to participate in fun and educational games, and win cool prizes from the GromSearch sponsors.
