Under 14 boys winners from the 10 Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps kicked things off first Wednesday, March 14 with HPC coaches Samba Mann, Clancy Dawson and Tim Macdonald putting the group through multiple surf sessions on day one.
The 10 under 14 Girls winners, which includes Gerringong’s Holly Wishart, get their camp underway on March 19 at the HPC, with the best and fairest male and female surfers from each camp set to take away a $250 Woolworths gift voucher as part of the Woolworths Fresh Wave Awards.
During each camp, the aspiring young athletes will put through their paces with a combination of surfing and video analysis, competition strategies and strength and gymnastic training.
Regarded as one of the major stepping stones in the development of young Australian surfers, the 10-event Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps caters for surfers from under eight to under 14 and will be held in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia over summer.
The prestigious event series will also return to Tasmania in 2017/18.
As an added bonus, the respective winners of the under 14 boys’ and girls’ divisions from each event will receive an invite to attend an all-expenses-paid, three-day Woolworths Surf Camp at the Hurley Surfing Australia High-Performance Centre (HPC).
For the South Australian, Victorian and Tasmanian events, the Woolworths Surf Camp prize will be awarded to the highest place under 14 boy and girl who reside in that respective state.
The Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps have helped to launch the careers of many of Australia's most promising junior surfers, with almost 800 children set to take part in the 2017/18 event series.
Boys surf camp participants: Koda Killorn, Taj Simon, Jarvis Earle, Touma Cameron, Zeph Lamperd, King Cairns, Elijah Magner, Matt Boyle, Dylan Vernon and Gus Lockley.
