Champions Crowned at The Rip Curl GromSearch Presented by SNICKERS

18/12/2009

The Queensland leg of the Rip Curl GromSearch presented by SNICKERS came to a close with champions crowned today.

Cabarita’s giant slayer Joel Ford (NSW) drew first blood with breath taking top to bottom manoeuvres and precise wave selection, scoring a massive opening 8.5 point ride.

Nipping at Ford’s heels was international Michael February (Cape Town, SAF) answering back with a 5.50 first wave score.

The lead swapped continuously throughout the 20 minute heat with professional surfing demonstrated from all competitors, although Cabarita’s Ford (NSW) was to be victorious in the blue ribbon final amassing a total heat tally of 15.49 (8.5 and a 6.90).

“I dedicate this win to my brother who is hospital at the moment.”

“Everybody here at this event was ripping and I am over the moon to win at home on the Gold Coast,” said Ford.

As a consolation prize of winning the toughest GromSearch competition in the seven event series, Ford (Cabarita NSW) also earns a spot in the national GromSearch final, which takes place on the 29th of March during the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach Australia.

Rip Curl GromSearch Series, Australia’s premier Grommet Surfing Series, is made possible thanks to the support of Rip Curl, SNICKERS, Surfing Australia, Rush Surf, Waves Surfing Magazine and Fuel TV.

Final results:

16 Boys final winner- Joel Ford (Cabarita NSW), 16 Girls final winner- Brodie Doyle (Coolangatta QLD), 14 Boys final winner- Michael Wright (Lennox Head NSW),

14 Girls final winner- Kirsten Ogden (Byron Bay NSW), 12 Boys final winner- Jeames Young (Angourie NSW), 12 Girls final winner- Laura Poncini (Moffat Beach Sunshine Coast QLD).

Other results:

SNICKERS Best And Fairest Award- Joshua Szele,  Rush Surf Outstanding Performance Award- Kiana Dobbyn, Waves Magazine ‘Rising Star’ Award- Jackson Coffey and Kirsten Ogden.
