Best junior surfers in the country head to East London for the Rip Curl GromSearch Nahoon Reef

The best junior surfers in the country prepare for the third Rip Curl GromSearch contest.

What?

The Rip Curl GromSearch Nahoon Reef, presented by Sea Harvest, is the third contest in the five-part Rip Curl GromSearch surfing series at various venues along our coastline. The previous contest was at Port Alfred, and the following event will be held in KZN.

Where?

The competition will take place at Nahoon Reef, the premier wave in East London. It is a powerful right-hand reef break that has produced many top surfers and is the perfect location for high-performance surfing. May is a good time for favourable conditions at Nahoon Reef, and the long-term forecast looks promising.
