Skullcandy Oz Grom Open kicks off at Lennox Head

Some of the world’s best and most exciting grommet surfers will call Lennox Head home this week when the Skullcandy Oz Grom Open kicks off.

This six-day event will run from 4 July – 9 July 2024 and will comprise of a World Surf League (WSL) sanctioned Pro Junior Qualifying Series event as well as an elite competition for promising grommets in the 14, 16 and 18 year age divisions.

In a similar vein to previous years – where the event has attracted surfers from ten different countries – a full international field is again expected in 2024 with surfers coming from as far away as Europe, the USA, Hawaii, Indonesia and Japan to make up a field of more than 200 surfers across all divisions.

“I’m so pumped for this event to begin,” said 2023 Skullcandy Pro Junior Champion Marlon Harrison. “The forecast for this year is looking incredible and I think some super exciting surfing will take place. I really hope I can string it together and get another win under my belt and go back-to-back.”

Day one of the competition (Thursday, 4^th July) will see competitors in the 14s and 16s hit the water, while the Pro Junior divisions will hit the water on day two.

Former event competitors include a range of current and former World Championship Tour and Challenger Series surfers, such as Macy Callaghan, Molly Picklum, Mikey, Owen and Tyler Wright, Jack Robinson and local surfers Ocea Curtis and Nyxie Ryan.

All event divisions will be broadcast live worldwide on skullcandyozgromopen.com.au.
