Staples Crowned Top Grom At Bells
Many of the worlds greatest 16 and under surfers competed in 1m clean surf today to decide the Rip Curl GromSearch Champion for 2008 at Bells Beach in Australia. The results are in. Thousands of spectators were on hand and Dale Staples (St Francis Bay/Sth Africa/16 years) didn’t disappoint becoming the second South African surfer to make the Rip Curl GromSearch international 16 Boys and under final. The other was Jordy Smith who placed second in the event three years ago, but this time Staples claimed top prize.
“It’s my biggest win ever and I can’t believe I’ve won. To do one better than Jordy is unbelievable and I only hope I can do what Jordy’s doing now and eventually make ASP World Tour – He’s an amazing surfer!”
