Quiksilver King Of The Groms gets underway.

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 4 March, 2006 : - - Glassy two to three-foot lefts and rights greeted the 90 competitors on the first day of the first Quiksilver King Of The Groms contest at Long Beach in Cape Town. In what turned out to be an epic summer day on the peninsula, the groms and the U20's battled it out in the good, highly contestable conditions.

With the pro format and the exclusion of losers rounds and repecharge heats, it was sudden death for anyone not killing it in each heat. The U20's hit the lineup first, the first wave of the event was ridden by Avro Johnson, and the first heat was taken by an electric Nic Godfrey. Brendon Gibbons also went mental in his heat to win comfortably.

Groms who were dominating the early rounds with hot performances in the cold Atlantic water were Brendan Gibbens and Matthew Bromley, who scored the highest scoring rides of the first round in his heat.

The Quiksilver King Of The Groms presented by Peugeot and Samsung finishes tomorrow afternoon Sunday 5 march 2006.
