Quiksilver KOTG

Fistral, Newquay UK
4 – 5 July 2009

This Weekend at Fistral beach will be the final event of the Quiksilver KOTGS series in the UK which we will see some of the best Boys and Girls under 16’s battle it out for two spots to go to Spain and compete against some of the best surfers in Europe.

Quiksilver’s  Spencer Hargraves  will be running the Uk series with the first event being in Jersey which last years winner Matt Chapman will be trying to defend his title . Then jumping across to Ireland also Quiksilver team rider Aaron Reid will be looking to make it three in row .

With the last of the three finishing in Newquay Spencer said it’s a great format and stepping stone for the grommets and champions of tomorrow if they want to progress onto the big leagues and make a career out of surfing and fantastic way to compete against the best grommets in Europe and the world !!!

The European final

For the second year running, Quiksilver is organizing a European Final of the King of the Groms. From April onwards, the young surfers will be able to compete in qualifying events held across the continent, in an attempt to win their ticket to the final in Zarautz.  In the final, thirty young surfers will come together at the Basque spot, Zarautz.

Up for grabs will be a place in the International Final, due to take place for the second consecutive year on the beaches of Hossegor, Seignosse, Capbreton and Saint Jean de Luz during the Quiksilver Pro France from 23 September to 4 October. Places are precious and only the top two from the European Final at Zarautz will go through to the international event.
