MEDEWI - NEGARA, BALI
26th August 2007
From the PRESS RELEASE
The first surf series of 2007 – 2008 season began at Medewi Beach. After 3 hours drive early Sunday morning at 4 am, we were blessed with a perfect day for Swordfish. It was sunny day with great 3 feet glassy long waves, with our favorite delicious “nasi bungkus” - traditional lunch from Medewi that wrapped in banana leaf - and whole slew of kids that came down to compete who cheered on their friends and got nuts for Volcom’ giveaways. And here is how the finals went down.
The Groms final was packed with young and new comer kids. They were ripping hard, but the older kids like Abi Azwar Anas and Soleh Mahendra surfed step higher and took the 1st and 2nd place. Yet, the new comers, Gede Ludra and Heri Hervian showed big smiles when they got the 3rd and 4th place … they brought home some cash and Volcom products plus ticket to join the VQS Indo Champ in June 2008!
Ahmad Kamal who dominated the day from the first heat in Junior Division was crowned as the winner. He was on fire and made some impressive scores and took the win. Rounding out the final were Dwi Marnox, Chock and Munawir.
Pro Ams was a war! They had some great set of the day and Volcom boy Muklis Anwar was ripping and finding the best waves. For 2nd and 3rd place there was a battle between Hadi and Bisri, at the end Bisri got a slightly better point.
Good job for all the finalists … you are qualified for the VQS Indo Champ in June 2008!
Thanks to everybody who helped us out to make it happen, all kids, all media, local judges for all the help, friendship and brotherhood, Volcom Indo Team & Riders. Know peace not war…
