Doesn’t Quiksilver’s Young Guns offer such promise of surfing’s bright future? A global, digital contest that attracts the world’s best under-18s, curating a crop bursting with talent who’ll guide our sport’s performance into the new frontier! 

The edits are in and voting is now open. You, the public, now hold the keys to the future of the 30 short listed groms. While Zeke Lau, Jeremy Flores and Mikey Wright are picking their fave, it’s up to you to vote for yours to make up the five other finalists. You can expect the showdown to be heated, it’ll be in Indonesia and there’s $10k on the table.

This round is all about audience voting. Thirty groms are in the mix, but they can’t all surf the final, we’ve gotta narrow it down to eight. So, swing this way, watch the edits and back the most inspiring performance!
