Maroubra to host NSW’s best grommet surfers in July for the Havaianas NSW Grommet State Titles.

The 2021 Havaianas NSW Grommet State Titles at Maroubra will see over 130 of NSW’s best grommet surfers compete in an effort to claim a coveted NSW title.
 
The three-day event will take place at Maroubra Beach from the 23 – 26, July 2021. The Under-14 division will be given an allocated amount of positions for the Australian Junior Surfing Titles, which will take place in Queensland in December, while the Under-12s will simply decide the boys and girls NSW champions for 2021.
 
“I’m so proud to welcome an event like the Havaianas NSW Grommet State Titles to Maroubra, which has been a National Surfing Reserve since 2006,” said Randwick Mayor Danny Said. “It’s a perfect match. People come from all over Australia to surf the waves at Maroubra, and I know the local community can’t wait to come out and support these young surfers. It’s a great chance to see the champions of the future.” Unlike previous years, where all qualifiers for the 2021 Havaianas NSW Grommet State Titles at Maroubra were determined by eight individual regional titles, the 2021 event will invite all junior competitors to enter in their respective age divisions, however, the top surfers in the aforementioned regionals will earn seeded positions in the event.
 
2021 is the seventh year the Havaianas NSW Grommet State Titles and the Woolworths NSW Junior State Titles pres. by Ocean and Earth have been split into two different events, with the amendment designed to cater to the growing demand from younger competitor divisions. In addition to the surfing, Havaianas will also host beach games daily where participants can win a range of products courtesy of Havaianas.
 
Entries into the event will open on the 28th May at 5pm. The daily schedule will be confirmed via the event hotline at 6:45am each day. The event hotline is 0458 247 212.
