Quiksilver / Washed

Quiksilver / Washed

Washed, the new surf film from Quiksilver, is a raw, high-energy celebration of modern performance surfing. Shot over two years across a range of global surf spots, the 30-minute film features some of the sport’s most exciting talents—including Griffin Colapinto, Mikey Wright, Kanoa Igarashi, Kauli Vaast, and Kael Walsh—pushing the limits of style, speed, and power.

True to Quiksilver’s roots, Washed strips away narrative and gimmicks in favour of pure, unfiltered surfing: big turns, critical barrels, and explosive airs captured in striking cinematography. The film’s premiere tour—from Australia and Japan to the UK—reignites the spirit of the classic surf movie, reminding audiences that in an age of short clips and scrolling feeds, nothing beats the full-throttle beauty of watching surfers simply tear into waves.

Two years of swells chased, clips stacked, hard drives stuffed, ACLs torn, flights missed and tricks landed. Washed is 30 minutes of the Quiksilver team’s best. Enjoy.

Rip Curl GromSearch Sydney

Rip Curl GromSearch Sydney

72 young surfers aged 16 and under took over Sydney’s UrbnSurf wave pool on Monday to compete for the National GromSearch Champion title. The competitors battled it out across three different age groups: U12s, U14s, and U16s, under scorching conditions, with recently crowned World Champion and former GromSearch finalist Molly Picklum in attendance.

“It’s so nostalgic for me to come down here and see all of the groms competing at GromSearch because it doesn’t feel like that long ago that it was me,” said 2025 Surfing World Champion Molly Picklum. “GromSearch was everything to me growing up, I wanted to win so badly, so to come back as a World Champion and see how far I’ve come feels so surreal.”

Locana Cullen from Sydney’s Northern Beaches and Queensland’s Eliza Richardson took out the Under 16s division, both winning an all-expenses-paid trip to the GromSearch International Final in Hossegor, France to compete against other GromSearch finalists from around the world, including North America, Europe, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, and more.

“I had such a great time down here at UrbnSurf, all of the girls were ripping,” said event winner Eliza Richardson. “I came in with a goal to win this thing [the event] so I could go to France, I’m just so stoked I get to go with Molly!”

Competitors earned their spots at the National Final through standout performances at regional events in Coffs Harbour and Phillip Island earlier this year.

Lennox Lindsay claimed the title in the U14 boys division, while Mila Grainger triumphed in the U14 girls. Hayden Mee took out the U12 boys, with Sage Fleming securing the win in the U12 girls division.

Since 1999, the GromSearch series has been a launching pad for over 40,000 surfers aged 16 and under. Past winners include World Surf League World Champions Caitlin Simmers, Caroline Marks, and Gabriel Medina.

Other notable winners include Championship Tour surfers Erin Brooks, Brisa Hennessy, Samuel Pupo, Leonardo Fioravanti, Tatiana Weston-Webb, Owen Wright, and one of the most stylish free surfers on the planet, Mason Ho, among many other greats of the sport.

The impact of the GromSearch series over the past 26 years is undeniable:

• 2025 World Surf League World Tour: Over 60% of current Championship Tour athletes are former GromSearch winners.
• Olympics: Five of the six medalists at the last two Olympic Games competed in Rip Curl GromSearch.
• World Surf League Women’s World Champions: The last 18 WSL Women’s World Titles have been won by GromSearch finalists
• The GromSearch International Final will take place in Hossegor, France from November 4th to 8th and will be live streamed here.
