Daniel Glenn is the new 2012 Quiksilver US King of the Groms. Sixty four of the best surf groms in the country, aged 8-16, have met in Huntington Beach to fight for a trip to the Quiksilver King of the Groms World Championships, in France. “Growing up in Florida, I had always dreamed of winning the Quiksilver King of the Groms,” said Daniel Glenn. “Now that I have won in the US, I have a chance to make my dream come true by competing in France!” From the very first heat it was Daniel Glenn who took control. He managed to dispose of two of the top competitors early putting them out of contention before the end of the first round. Newly crowned US Amatuer Champ Kanoa Igarashi and current Under-18 ISA world junior champion Kalani David put it to Glenn, posting scores in the 8 range, but Glenn was not to be intimidated and posted a last minute 8.83 for a frontside air reverse. Ultimately setting himself up for a 5 skin winning streak and the pole position after the first round.
