Rip Curl Grom Surf Comp / Hawaii

Story and pics on Surfline

CONDITIONS: It was pretty much perfect, summertime surf for a grommet contest. Oahu's top youngsters chased down ultra-coveted invites to the Finals in Puerto Rico later this year.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE: Nobody wanted it more than Ezekiel Lau. Surfing his homebreak, Zeke looked unbeatable, following a no-grab air reverse with 10-point bomb. Hands down the guy to watch at Kewalos over the weekend. Zeke got the invite and cash prizes for the event's best maneuver and highest heat total.

Seth Moniz frustrated the 14/under and 12/under divisions, edging out Koa Smith, Kain Daly, Kaulana Apo, Imai Devault, and Noa Mizuno for double crowns.
