These 28 Kids Are Getting Into ‘Snapt5’

Let’s just call it the plot twist we all saw coming.

Logan ‘Chucky’ Dulien, the man who pulls the strings at the Snapt Corp Global HQ, has decided to expand the grom roster for his swan song, Snapt5. Originally set to feature 14 up-and-comers, the sheer flood of talent — way over 300 submissions worldwide — was too good to leave in a rejects folder. A total of 28 u17 surfers will now be populating their respective section in the film.

Dulien’s been knee-deep in cyber gold mining, scrolling through reels, stories, and untagged gems. “I’ve followed and commented on every grom’s post so they know I’ve seen their entry,” he shared earlier.

His approach to the series has always been infused with a mix of ambition and generosity, keeping an attentive eye on surfing’s future while broadcasting those boundary-pushing performances to the rest of its ecosystem.

Snapt has always thrived on excess: fast-paced edits and heavyweight names. It’s no surprise the grom section is taking the same bold route.

With Snapt5 now bursting at the seams, this final chapter is shaping up to be more than just another surf film. It’s Chucky’s parting gift to surfing: a love letter to the culture, its fans, and the raw, unpolished talent that will carry the torch long after his camera stops rolling.
