surfaotearoa-like you we're here to surf!
South Island Groms
With the earthquake causing the beaches in Christchurch to be closed due to pollution over the past six months Waikuku has become the local beach of choice a heap of Christchurch surfers.
Being north of Christchurch it cops a bit more south swell too. A surfaotearoa photog was shooting a few longboarders on this winter morning when some groms started ripping it up - the future looks bright reckons the boss!
Above and Below: Sam Sands light weight and firing!

Grommet; Noun,
Young surfer under the age of about eighteen. Prone to beatings by other members of the surfing fraternity,
Supposedly in a lighted hearted manner. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish whether this form of bullying is about keeping old unfit farts a few higher steps up the ladder. Refferred to as 'Grommet Abuse'. Note a group of grommets ganging up on another grommet is another form of grommet abuse seemingly about the establishment and or retaining of a pecking order. Intelligence has little to do with this surfing culture phenomenom its more about brawn and bashings than brains.
