PR Push for Grommies

Well its Sunday morning, the sun is shining and it's relatively warm considering its February. There is a light east-south-east wind, which means that its off shore at the main beaches on the  South  Wales coast.  It's 3ft glass, and firing...and I'm sat here typing this? Well I just thought it would be good to put our latest press release we had in 'Wales best selling Newspaper". If your interested you can read the full article from the South Wales Evening Post here. So far we haven't had anyone contact us in regard to sponsoring Jack, so if there is anyone out there we would love to here from you. Anyhow I'm off to the beach shortly to get a surf in for the first time in 4 weeks, and this time I'm not going to forget my hat!

Jack Mander looking for Sponsorship.

We at Grommies have been actively searching for for some young Grommies to sponsor and support through the sport of surfing. As we are a company focusing on 0 to 10 year olds we were absolutely gutted to receive these shots only to find out Jack is 14 - arrgh!! after sending him a  nice 'sorry but' e-mail we had a think and thought if we can do anything to help we'd have a go... So we got back to Jack, sent him a pair of sheepskin boots, and said we'd stick him on the blog. So here we go. Take a look, and if you or you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone (you get my drift), who's in the industry and would like to give Jack some assistance then please drop me an e-mail and ill let him him know. Jack is super keen, and some support would definitely be appreciated...

Anyhow we asked him some questions and this is what we got back:

Where you surf? Godrevey in Hayle mainly

How you get to the beach? my mum or my mates

Who your surf hero(s) are? Mick Fanning  and Benji Weatherly

Who you surf with? The local Hayle groms and Shore Surf

What you want to be when you’re older? hopefully a pro surfer or surf photography

So grab the grommies e-mail address from our mail site, or click the 'about' link on the left and lets help Jack!

We also had another Jack from Westward Ho! contact us, and after having a chat with his dad he's on board - we will be posting up a page on our main site along with ed B... Now if there are any girls out there under 10 years of age looking for sponsorship please, please let us know...
