Plett’s young surfers fly the flag high at the 2022 Eden Groms surfing trials
Congratulations to nine young local surfers who have been selected as part of a 24-person team representing Eden Surf Riders at the 2022 Western Cape Grom Champs to be held in Muizenberg, Cape Town 26 & 27 March 2022. Their hard work and dedication have paid off.
Most of these surfers are students at the Garden Route Surf Academy (GRSA) based at Robberg 5 Beach and six of them are part of GRSA’s “Adopt a Surfer NPC” program. You can see them in action training Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings on Robberg 5. Brendan Harker has also been selected as coach for the team headed to Cape Town.
Brendan discovered his passion for surfing when he was part of the GRSA “Adopt a surfer” program and represented Eden (then Southern Cape) at the SA Grom Games in 2007. The GRSA and Learn to Surf Plett are thrilled to have Brendan on board and “sharing the stoke, changing lives!”
The Plett representatives are as follows
- Luka Oosthuizen u16 boys
- Kihara Philander U16 girls
- Phoebe Wiesie U16 girls
- Roheesha Williams U14 girls
- Veruscka Frans U14 girls
- Angeline Nyuamba U14 girls

Congratulations and best of luck to you all! Plett is very proud of you!
