27 July, 2020 – Kuta, Bali: The winners of the first Grom Patrol online Comp of 2020 were announced last evening at Kosta Hostel Berawa, after all the clips were reviewed and judged, the groms had all been fed, and everyone had been treated to a video highlight reel of the weekend’s events that was filmed and edited by Sean Gilhooley of Indoinc. Check it out at https://youtu.be/ukIR44bwZqc
Starting with the youngest first, it was micro-grom Jasper Glossop posting a win in the Under 10 Boys Division, Westen Hirst smashing the Under 14 Boys Division, Georgie May taking out the Under 14 Girls Division, Ketut Tia continuing her winning form from last year in the Under 17 Girls, and Pajar Ariana following her lead with a win in the Under 17 Boys Division.
All the winners from this week will advance to the grand final, which will happen on Week 5 (21-23 August) of the Grom Patrol, but they can still enter and compete in any or all of the other upcoming Comp’s. However, should they come in first place again, the runner up will be declared the winner and will join in the grand final, so everyone has multiple chances to win.
The 2nd annual Tipi Jabrik’s Grom Patrol Camp and Comp began last Thursday with an afternoon technical meeting to ensure that all the staff and the participants knew the rules, the schedule, and what protocols to follow. Then Friday and Saturday saw all the Camp and Comp participants head down to Legian Beach for surfing and instruction, fun with their friends at the beach and to show off their best surfing for the official Grom Patrol video team who were capturing their clips for the online competition.
For the kids that joined the Camp, their evenings were spent at Kosta Hostel reviewing video clips of their performance and doing analysis with the Bali Elite Surf Coaching team, then preparing a game plan for the next day’s session. After, they were given dinner and the opportunity for some quiet time without gadgets before bedtime, as they had to be up and at breakfast at 8 am before heading back to the beach.
Sunday during the day was a free surf session while the Grom Patrol team sorted through all the video clips from the 40 kids that joined in the Comp….which was no small task! It was very time-consuming and delayed the award presentation somewhat, but no one seemed to mind as they played around the pool, feasted on a bbq dinner, and then waited in anticipation to see who the winners would be.
Scores and videos will be available within the next couple of days at https://clippero.com/
