T&C Surf Grom Contest

It has been our distinct honor and pleasure to organize and execute the annual T&C Grom Contest for nearly 30 years! The countless memories, bright smiles, and endless STOKE will be forever cherished by the entire T&C Ohana. Filling the beach with families and creating an opportunity to enjoy a weekend of sand, surf, and sun has certainly been an annual highlight.

It is with a heavy heart that we have made the difficult decision to CANCEL the T&C Grom Contest. The changing insurance landscape for water events has left us with no other option. After an exhaustive effort to secure insurance coverage that would provide for the safety of our participants, their families, and our 55 years old kamaaina owned business we are left with no comprehensive solution.

It saddens us to take this step. We hope that everyone appreciates that we have a deep sense of kuleana to Hawaii, our staff, our community, and to surfing. We will continue to be guided by our passion for Hawaii and the surfing lifestyle which have fueled the success of T&C Surf for over 55 Years.

Big smiles, little surfers 🏄 every grom’s a champion at the Kokua Awards! 👊🏅 Honoring the next little wave of mini shredders at the T&C Surf Grom Contest!

Saltwater in their hair, sunshine in their smiles — medal time for our Kokua division little mermaids 🧜‍♀️✨ aka surf princesses at the T&C Surf Grom Contest! 🌊🏅💖

What an epic weekend at the T&C Surf Grom Contest! 🌊🤙
The stoke was high and the vibes even higher! From new faces to familiar ones, it was all smiles, good times, and waves that turned into lifelong memories. 🙌🏽💙

A huge mahalo to the groms, parents, volunteers, water patrol, judges, and our amazing sponsors who made the 2025 event possible: Duke's Waikiki, Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii, Freesurf Magazine, DAKINE, Futures Fins, PSD Underwear, RVCA, Sun Bum, GoPro, Melin, Vans, Science Bodyboards Hawaii, and YETI! — and all our incredible prize sponsors!

After nearly 30 years of pure grom stoke, we’re beyond grateful to keep the tradition alive — inspiring Hawai‘i’s youth, one wave at a time. 🌺🏄‍♂️
