Celebrating its tenth year, the prestigious five-day event will kick off from the 15^th – 19^th April, and will cater to over 200 talented grommets.

Surfing NSW Head of Events, Competition and Pathways Tom Dickson said, “The Billabong Oz Grom Cup is a great pathway for junior athletes, with the event being ranked a 6 Star (6500 points) that go towards to State and National Rankings which makes this one of the marque events in the calendar.”
