T&C Virtual Surf Grom Contest - Waikiki 2021

Virtual T&C Grom Contest 2021

The 23rd annual T&C Grom Contest presented by FreeSurf Magazine will transform into a virtual competition in Waikiki. This year, we are taking this historic event online for the first time as a digital submission-based-competition. The event will run for eight weeks entirely online at events.tcsurf.com. Participants will be able to assemble from all sides of the island chain to prove their talent in shortboard, longboard, or bodyboard divisions at the iconic Queen’s surf break. To help to keep the stoke level high we have secured over $20,000 in prizes from many of the surf and skate brands that we carry within our stores.

The virtual contest will be limited to the first 250 entrants. There will be a $10 entry fee which will be donated in full to the Boys and Girls Club of Hawaii, who’s partnership has always been aligned with T&C Surf’s mission – to create greater futures for our youth. All contestants will receive a goodie bag with cool swag from the event sponsors including Dakine, RVCA, Vans, Vertra and many more. Each competitor is limited to one division and one individual wave submission. Different from traditional surf contest formats, this year’s Grom Contest will assess the entrants’ ability to demonstrate talent, skill, and determination without the time limitations of a traditional series of competition heats. Official submissions will start on June 7th and end on July 31st. The groms will have the summer to film themselves surfing the perfect wave and submit the footage online for the judge's consideration. T&C Surf will reveal the top three winners of each division online on August 20, 2021 and award them with medals and prize packs.

Proudly sponsored by the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii, Dakine, RVCA, Vans and Vertra.
