They’ve all submitted a two minute clip and sent it to the wolves, that’s you! Ten of these groms will see themselves in the final, it’s hush-hush and will be held at a secret location. The party and surfing will be broadcasted live. There’s a 10k pay out for the runner up and 20k from the best under-18 surfer in the world. That’s a lot of ice cream and hotdogs!
