Skuff TVs Weekly Skid #13- Gromfest Special

It's a grommet-ridden surf-packed episode as we head to Lennox Head, NSW for the Rusty Gromfest, one of the world's most prestigious surf events for under 16 competitors. We also drop in on the Aussie surf team which traveled to France last month for the ICC World Junior Champs - and won it for the 3rd year running!! We also check up on the big kids with round 6 of the WCT having just wrapped up in J-Bay, Sth Africa, where reigning world champ Mick Fanning was unable to stop Kelly Slater claiming his 4th win out of 5 this year. And in Muzik we get old school with Aus hip-hoppers TZU who've dusted off the 808 drum machines and analogue synths for their new album Computer Love.
