GROM PARTY AT MAYHEM’S

Matt Biolos threw a party for all the groms competing in the Surfing America USA Championships. The likes of Taylor Clark, Griffin and Crosby Colapinto, Noah and Koda Beschen, and Colt Ward amongst many other hungry and frothing groms showed up to eat some crepes, play foosball, and compete for Matt’s money. Matt threw money at the groms for doing ‘grom tricks’, which translates into whatever made him happy at the time.
