UPDATE JULY 13
Mikey Wright has won the Under 14 Boys at the 2009 Rusty Gromfest !! His first wave scored a 10 just minutes into the final and the other groms were left to fight for 2nd, well done mate. Zac Wightman tamed the conditions to smash his way into the final of the Under 12 Boys and finished in 4th. Nik Hoskin had a fantastic event to make the final in the Under 16 Boys but in the radical conditions couldn't find a backup to finish in 4th.
