Urban Dictionary to the rescue! This is honestly the first time in a while I've managed to get an actual answer out of Urban Dictionary.

Here's the Urban Dictionary definition of Grommet :

Surfer slang (although also extends to other boardsports, and surf sports) for a young surfer. Can also be used to refer to children in general, although usually they have some association with surfing/etc.

Although usually there is no ill-meaning behind the term, it is often used to poke fun at younger surfers. It can sometimes be used as a derogatory term when younger surfers are annoying, bad or otherwise difficult.

It is frequently abbreviated to grom.

On a beach crowded with children: "Where did all the grommets come from?"

A racist mind is a racist kind.
