King Of The Groms round 2 voting is now open

Ah, we love a bit of teenage angst! King of the Groms round one is over, which can only mean round two voting is in full swing. 30 adolescent frothers have found themselves in the second round. 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! Here’s three round two grom’s that if it were legal to bet on kids Stab would put our money on: 1. Noah Beschen, 14 years-grom, Oahu.  2. Leonardo Fioravanti, 17 years-grom, Rome. 3. Kei Kobayashi, 16 years-grom, San Clemente.   The rest of round two finalists: Harley RossShane BorlandKian MartinJordy CollinsKael WalshVitor MendesMalakai Martinez Nolan Rapoza (TBC)Samuel Pupo Sebastian WilliamsRiley LaingGabriel BrunoTane BowdenKehu ButlerYuji MoriJonas TawharuMorgan CibilicSandon WhittakerMicky ClarkeWeslley DantasKyuss KingMarco MignotLuis DiazMateus HerdyZac WightmanFinn McGillCole Houshmand In the US cast your votes here.
