Rip Curl GromSearch Scottburgh Entries Are Closed

 

Quick facts about the Rip Curl GromSearch Scottburgh presented by The Blue Marlin Hotel

What Is It?

The Rip Curl GromSearch Scottburgh, presented by The Blue Marlin Hotel, is a junior surfing tournament that forms part of the five-contest Rip Curl GromSearch Series. It is a junior surfing event comprising U12, U14, U16 and U18 Girls and Boys. The contest is presented by The Blue Marlin Hotel.

 

When Is It?

Initially a two-day event, the contest had to be extended to three days to accommodate all the entries. It was a sold-out affair and entries are now closed. It takes place from 31 March to 2 April. Junior surfing is on the move in South Africa, and the Rip Curl GromSearch events have seen unprecedented interest so far this year. There are new faces at every contest, along with the regulars, with everyone pushing their surfing and performing at their best.

Where Is It Being Held?

The Rip Curl GromSearch will be held at the stunning Scottburgh Beach on the KZN South Coast. The wave is a high-performance sand-bottom point, and when conditions are good, it produces hollow, tubing waves. There is also an inside wave in certain conditions. 

The Blue Marlin Hotel is an amazing hotel that overlooks Scottburgh Beach, an ideal location for competitors and their families and is the tournament’s presenting sponsor.

The Randlord Mansions: The View

Another Randlord Mansion masterpiece is The View, the oldest surviving house in Parktown, built for Sir Thomas Cullinan (who gave his name to the world’s largest diamond). These mansions were built with imported teak, Italian marble, and stained glass, often featuring “hunting rooms” filled with trophies from African safaris and libraries stocked with leather-bound classics. They were designed to project a sense of permanent, European-style aristocracy in a city that was, in reality, a volatile and temporary mining camp.
