With over $1000 in prize money and many other prizes, there is no question that the 2009 Rip Curl Grom Search will bring the Outer Banks’ best surfers out to the beach this Saturday.

Surfline.com predicts that the swell will be 2-3 ft with winds blowing out of the Southeast.

Be sure to bring the family out to watch all of the exciting action.  The event site will be Byrd St. in Kitty Hawk.  If conditions are not ideal, then the event will be moved to Bonnet St. in Nags Head.

Contest starts at 8 am with Outer Banks Boarding Company hosting a Award Ceremony, After-Party, and Benefit.  The public will have the opportunity to participate in a raffle and silent auction, featuring Rip Curl gear, a surfboard shaped by Lynn Shell, and much more!
