Emi stands out in GromSearch

Teenage Denmark surfer Emi Campbell has successfully defended her Rip Curl GromSearch title after a standout performance on the final day of the WA leg of the competition at Trigg Beach in Perth on Sunday.

Emi again took out the girls’ 14-and-under title and placed third in the 16-and-under division behind Cali McDonough (NSW) and Yallingup’s Eliza Greene.

Despite the tricky onshore conditions on Saturday, Emi still posted strong wins in both divisions.

Another impressive performance came from Albany’s Evie Dupuy, who placed fifth in the girls’ 12-and-under division.

Campbell and fellow Denmark surfers Michaela and Lachy Ross were last week awarded Department of Sport and Recreation scholarships.
