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
When and how you got into surfing? about 3 years ago because i moved to Cornwall
What you want to be when you’re older? hopefully a pro surfer or surf photography
What type of board you ride? 5"6 and a 5"4 both kamikazes
What preparation you do before a surf? have a little stretch
What you’re into in school wise? p.e and art
What you do if it’s flat? skate and mess around with mates.
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...
