RADITYA RONDI OVER RAHTU SUARGITA IN THRILLING FINISH TO RIP CURL WEST SUMBAWA PRO 2009
26 June 2009, Taliwang-West Sumbawa : In the waning afternoon light somewhere in West Sumbawa, 20 year old Raditya Rondi put the final stamp on his first ever Indonesian Surfing Championship tour win by racing his way through three barrel sections on his last wave, just inches above the razor sharp reef, to post the highest score of the day, a 9.25 out of a possible 10, besting last year's winner Rahtu Suargita in memorable and exciting finish to this unique surfing competition.
"I was so lucky eh, making it through all three of those sections" he said back on the boat with a huge grin on his face. Never one to boast about his talents he added, "I was so lucky to get the good waves in this final against Rahtu. I think he was just tired from his semifinal, whereas I had a good rest so was really pumped up. So good eh?" He was referring to the fact that Suargita had gotten stuck in the reef at the end of his previous semifinal and barely made it out to the lineup in time for the start of the final.
This is Rondi's best result on his third year on the Coca-Cola ISC Tour and he is well on his way into the top of the rankings with this win. Rondi was last year's ISC Pro Junior Champion as well as the runner up in the 2008 Quiksilver Pro at Keramas against 2009 ISC Pro Champion Dede Suryana.
Last year's winner Rahtu Suargita was not at all disappointed with his runner up spot. "How can I not be happy?" he responded to a question about the final. "I was in the final against my friend and team mate in really waves at a great location, so it was perfect. I had a great time and great waves, so what more could I ask for? This was so much fun!" he said with his ever-present and infectious smile.
For his win Rondi gets to cash a 20 million Rupiah check (about 2,000 USD) and gains 3,500 points towards the 2009 ISC Pro Championship. With Number 1 seed Lee Wilson not making it out of his Round 4 heat and Number 2 seed Dede Suryana out in the Quarterfinals, the race to the championship just opened up and Rondi is in a great position for a banner 2009 season.
Taking equal third place were Made Awan and Wayan Suyadnya. Awan had bested veteran Pepen Hendrik in the morning's quarterfinal session, while Suyadnya took down Dede Suryana in a surprising upset.
The final day's action got started with the first quarterfinal heat at around 9 am on a rising tide and 3-4 foot swell. With the completion of the fourth quarterfinal a timeout was called to let the tide run back out with the expectation that the low tide and increasing swell would make perfect finishing conditions.
True to form, with the tide draining off the reef and the sun getting low over the Indian Ocean, stunning 4-5 green-gold sets came marching in to launch up and smash on the sharp reef just below the surface, creating an epic effect and a memorable conclusion for the 2009 Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro.
The Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro was held over a 7-day period starting off on June 20th, the first day of the 10 day waiting period. A waiting period was implemented and a mobile setup prepared in order to hold the competition in only the best wave conditions possible at the most suitable locations in this wave rich area of West Sumbawa.
The first, second, and last days of the competition were held in a scenic left-hand razor sharp coral reef break just offshore from a white sand beach, with the judges, crew, and competitors working the event from boats. The third day saw the crew go mobile to a picturesque bay about an hour away, home to a consistent and rippable right-hand reef break.

The Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro 2009 was funded in part by the local government of West Sumbawa, and was officially kicked off by the Bupati (Governor) in an opening ceremony on the 21st of June at Jelenga Beach. It was part of the Scar Reef Beach Festival 2009 that was organized by the West Sumbawa Tourism Forum and included a Men's and Women's Volleyball competition and a Battle of the Bands.

SURYANA INTO QUARTERFINALS OVER WILSON - MADE LANA TAKES MASTERS DIVISION WIN AT RIP CURL WEST SUMBAWA 2009
23 June 2009, Taliwang-West Sumbawa : In the last heat of Round 4 today with 4-5 foot righthanders pounding onto the reef, the Number 1 and 2 ranked Coca-Cola ISC tour pro competitors battled it out for a spot in the Quarterfinals, and at the end of the 20 minute heat it was last year's champion Dede Suryana who emerged the heat winner over 2007 champion Lee Wilson.
With 5 minutes to go Wilson needed only a 6.1 point score to take over the lead, and in these waves conditions it seemed very likely happen given Wilson's penchant for going extremely mental at every opportunity, but things just didn't go his way so he was left paddling in clearly disappointed. "I was so nervous in the final minutes, coz I knew I had to get a good wave, so I was trying to make the most of the one I got, but I got off balance at the end of that floater and fell. It just didn't happen for me this time", he explaied back on the beach
Wilson had jumped into the lead with a couple of short barrel rides, a rarity on high tide at this venue, but Suryana's patience was rewarded when he dropped into a couple of beauties which he carved apart to take over the lead, which he then held til the end, finishing with a 7.5 and a 4.5 to Wilson's 6.0 and 5.0.
Suryana had come in equal third in the last Coca-Cola ISC event, giving Wilson the points lead for 2009, so he was extremely delighted to be sitting in the drivers seat again. He said smiling, "I was bummed that I didn't get to the final in the last comp at my home town, so I'm really happy that I'm in the quarters now so I can be in a position to win this one. I really want to get the title again this year!"
After yesterday's lay day for the surfers due to mediocre conditions where the previous rounds had been run, the Rip Curl Search crew meanwhile had been busy scoping out another location in which to hold Round 4. Of course in this wave-rich region of West Sumbawa they were easily successful, so the word went out to the competitors at 6 pm yesterday to be ready to jump into the waiting transport at 5:30 am the next morning and head off for a one hour drive to a beautiful blue water bay that is home to some cranking and rippable righthanders.
The waves were going off and contrary to common knowledge many of the goofy footers found these waves to their liking, including last year's Scar Reef Pro champion Rahtu Suargita and Rip Curl team rider Wayan "Gobleg" Suyadnya, who both dropped into the sizeable waves and threw heaps of spray, bashing the tops of each wave on their way to their heat wins.
Also advancing were Raditya Rondi, Made Awan, Pepen Hendrik, Devis Ratif, and Tai Graham, making it almost an even match between goofyfooters and naturalfooters who will compete in the upcoming Quarterfinals.
After the last heat of Round 4 the Masters Division competitors had their chance to show the youngsters how it should be done, and Made Lana in his first competition as a Master got off to a great start in the large hightide surf, posting two 7.5 point waves to claim victory over hard charging goofy footer Ketut Wirtawan, who was close on his heels at the horn with a 7.1 and a 6.8. In third was Made Lapur, who together with Lana was surfing in the Pro division earlier but had been knocked out, and rounding out the top four was last Masters competition winner Wayan Widiarta.
The Quarterfinalists in the Pro division are scheduled to meet again on Friday the 23rd, as the swell is forecasted to be increasing starting Thursday afternoon, with Friday and Saturday scheduled to be giving some solid 6-8 surf in which to wrap up the Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro 2009.
For more photos, stories, and other great stuff, check out www.ripcurl.com and www.isctour.com on the web.
The Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro got started on June 20, the first day of the waiting period, and has until June 30 to be completed, allowing the competitors to surf in the best wave conditions and best locations possible in the wave rich and beautiful West Sumbawa area.

22 June 2009, Taliwang-West Sumbawa : The expected increase in swell did not materialize today, so after giving the Indian Ocean a few hours chance to wake up Contest Director Pete Matthews called a lay day for today at the beautiful and scenic Scar Reef beach.
There is currently a local volleyball tournament going on as well as a Battle of the Bands, so the contestants and crew have some entertainment to keep them occupied if they don't have the urge to go boating, snorkeling, fishing, or just relaxing at the beach.
Yesterday afternoon saw the opening ceremony of the Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro 2009, where the local government officials and community gathered for speeches and local dance/cultural performances before the Bupati (governor) rang to gong to open the festivities.
Competition is scheduled to continue tomorrow morning at a nearby righthand reef break for Round 4, so stay tuned and review the action of the last few days at www.ripcurl.com and www.isctour.com. See you tomorrow!

AERIALS AND BIG TURNS GET TOP SCORES ON DAY 2 OF RIP CURL WEST SUMBAWA PRO 2009
21 June 2008, Taliwang-West Sumbawa : Day 2 of the Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro saw the exciting action continue above the razor sharp coral reef of Scar Reef in West Sumbawa, with 4-5 foot waves on offer to tempt the Round 4 Coca-Cola ISC tour competitors into going big with a combination of aerials, big turns and massive floaters, and when pulling them off being rewarded by the top scores from the judging crew viewing the action from the Search boat in the channel.
First to break the 8.0 point barrier was Raditya Rondi in Heat 3, who first tested the waters with a small low scoring wave, then waiting behind the others before swinging into action and tearing apart a 4 foot set wave and get and 8.0, the top score of the event thus far.
As the morning progressed, the size of the set waves increased and with it the level of competition and point scores. Mustofa Jeksen wowed the spectators and the judges with an insane 180 degree air reverse that got him an 8.0 score and the heat win to advance into Round 4, where he will be matched up with last years Rip Curl Scar Reef Pro winner Rahtu Suargita in man-on-man action.
Rip Curl team rider Wayan "Gobleg" Suyadnya dominated his Round 3 heat by crushing a sizeable set wave with his powerful frontside attack, getting the top single wave score of the day, an 8.5. He advances to take on stylish natural footer Marlon Gerber in Round 4.
In the final heat of Round 3, 2007 ISC Champion Lee Wilson had his work cut out for him but was up to the task, aggressively searching for the critical section of the lip to smash and then speeding down the face to generate maximum speed to do it again and again, posting first a 5.0 and then capping it off with an 8.1 to claim the heat win. Chasing him was the every dangerous Made Lapur, who also advanced taking second in the heat and his entry into Round 4.
The swell is forecast to increase slightly tomorrow, so the Round 4 competitors and the competition crew has been instructed to stand by for a mid morning call.

RIP CURL WEST SUMBAWA PRO 2009 OPENS WITH FIRST DAY ACTION AT SCAR REEF
20 June 2009, Taliwang-West Sumbawa : The Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro 2009 rolled into action today at scenic Scar Reef in 3-4 foot waves, giving the opening round Coca-Cola ISC tour competitors their first go at challenging the world famous and aptly named razor-sharp reef break.
The third stop of the Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championship Tour, this is the second year for Rip Curl to run this event in conjunction with the local government of West Sumbawa. Last year’s event was named the Rip Curl Scar Reef Pro, however this year it was renamed in preparation for making it a mobile, taking advantage of the many excellent waves in the area including the right break of YoYo’s and the super hollow and critical wave of Supersuck when conditions allow.
The day’s action got started at 9 am on high tide, in preparation for the outgoing tide creating better tube-riding conditions. Although it turned out that barrel rides were few and far between, the draining tide provided some tricky sections to challenge the competitors, and it became obvious who had done their homework in the few days leading up to the start of the event.
The standout surfer of the morning was unquestionably Rip Curl team rider Mega Semadhi, who had the rest of his competitors combo’d in the first 10 minutes of his 25 minute heat, taking to the air over the tricky sections to first post a 6.75 and then a 7.3, the highest single wave and the highest total points score of the day. He was clearly on a mission to impress his sponsor, his teammates, and the rest of the field as well as to announce his intention to take home the Rp 20 million in prize money that awaits the winner in this 6 star prime ISC event.
Other surfers of mention were Tai Graham, who nabbed a nice little barrel that got him 7.0 points and a heat win, and Marlon Gerber, whose 6.75 was also in the high range of scores for the day, giving him a heat win and his ticket into Round 3.
With the first day of the waiting period already finished, there are 9 more days remaining in which to complete the event, giving Contest Director Pete Matthews the luxury of not only waiting for the ideal swell conditions but also the ideal choice of locations. All indications point towards a Round 3 start at Scar Reef early morning tomorrow morning.
Round 3 will see all the top seeded ISC surfers competing with the today’s early round winners, so with the 6 star prime prize money and points up for grabs expect the competition to get very intense from here on out.

With the first day of the waiting period already finished, there are 9 more days remaining in which to complete the event, giving Contest Director Pete Matthews the luxury of not only waiting for the ideal swell conditions but also the ideal choice of locations. All indications point towards a Round 3 start at Scar Reef early morning tomorrow morning.
Round 3 will see all the top seeded ISC surfers competing with the today’s early round winners, so with the 6 star prime prize money and points up for grabs expect the competition to get very intense from here on out.
The Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro is supported by Rip Curl Asia, the Government of West Sumbawa, the West Sumbawa Tourism Forum, SurfTime, and Magic Wave, and is sanctioned by the Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championship Tour.

PLENTY OF GIRLS AND WAVES SHOW UP IN FORCE FOR THE RIP CURL GIRLS GO SURFING DAY PRESENTED BY CLEAN AND CLEAR
Double Six Beach, Bali, Indonesia – How do you put an end to a stubborn flat spell? Gather a small army of eager women surfers on the beach and simply watch the waves roll in.
Nearly 100 women surfers showed up Sunday at Bali’s Double Six Beach for RipCurl’s sixth annual Girls Go Surfing Day, and the waves followed suit. Clean, 3-to-4 foot lines from a building swell graced the beach all day, bringing relief to local surfers after going five straight days without a swell and smiles to everyone on hand for Girls Go Surfing Day.
Over the past 15 years, the global learn-to-surf program has helped hundreds of women develop the skills and confidence to ride the waves, with events held in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil, the United States and Europe. This year’s event in Bali, sponsored by Clean & Clear, more than accomplished its goal of “promoting the health and well-being of the female youth in Indonesia.”
Women surfers as young as eight and as old as 60 received top notch instruction from the certified instructors at the Rip Curl School of Surf and took pointers from Rip Curl team riders, including Diah Rahayu (Seminyak), Nyoman Satri (Kuta) and Alisa Mertens (Holland). RipCurl male team riders Garut Widiarta (Kuta), Mega Semadhi (Uluwatu), Gobleg Suyadya (Uluwatu) and Pepen Hendrik (Kuta) also turned out to show their support and hang with the girls.
After riding her first wave this week as a student at the RipCurl School of Surf, Jantine de Vroome, 32, vacationing in Bali from Amsterdam, was intent on participating in the festivities Sunday.
“They guaranteed I would stand up on the first day and I did,” Vroome said of her lessons with RipCurl. “I’m headed to Spain in a couple of weeks and I definitely am going to continue surfing there. For me, I don’t like just lying around on the beach, so surfing is perfect for me.”
The morning’s surfing clinics were followed by the main event: the women’s pro-am surf contest. The field of 32, which included local Indonesian rippers and women surfers from as far away as Japan and Australia was pared down to a thrilling final between the 4 riders Diah, Bone, Yesco and Stella. By mid day the swell kicked securing great conditions for the showdown. In the end Rip Curl teamrider Diah Rahayu (14) took the lead to finish first and securing her first ever win of her still young surfing career.
“To have (an all-girl) contest and events like this is great,” Rip Curl rider Diah said. “It makes me practice and makes me a better surfer. It shows the girls that we can be just as good as the boys – maybe better!”
RipCurl will look to continue to its commitment to promoting the sport of surfing among women with more contests and clinics in the coming months.
“Our goal is to run an enjoyable and contemporary national program that will inspire and positively influence future female surfers of today,” Rip Curl event manager Dhanny said.

RIP CURL WEST SUMBAWA PRO CONFIRMED
In June, Rip Curl will again bring the Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championship tour to beautiful West Sumbawa for another 6-Star Prime-rated surfing event. After the success of the exciting inaugural event held last year in September, the world-class waves, the strong support of the West Sumbawa Government, and the helpful local surfing community made it an easy decision for Rip Curl to make the West Sumbawa Pro a permanent event on the Coca-Cola ISC Tour calendar.
From June 20th to 30th, Indonesia’s best surfers will make the cross-country trip to the still natural and yet to be explored area of West Sumbawa to battle it out for a total of 64 million Rupiah in prize money. The first place winner will receive 20 million Rupiah and 3,500 ISC championship points, making it one of the most desirable events on the tour. The event will be run in a mobile format in order to take full advantage of the great range of waves in the area. For those who will not be able to join the Rip Curl Search Team on this magnificent adventure, the Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro will be covered by daily updates and photos from the scene on www.ripcurl.com and Rip Curl Asia’s Facebook site, as well as on www.isctour.com and the ISC’s Facebook site.
The Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro typifies Rip Curl’s core concept of the Search. This concept has become the basic principle of the company, which is all about going out there and exploring to find out what is around the next corner and over the next hill. “ There are already a lot of surfing competitions in Bali, and considering the cost and the logistics involved it would be much easier to run the competition here. But Rip Curl is dedicated to always pushing the boundaries a little further and with the help of the West Sumbawa Government and the strong local surfing community; the West Sumbawa area represents a great opportunity for adventure and discovery. We are very grateful to be invited back this year,” says Rip Curl Asia’s Marketing Manager Clemens Berger.
The Rip Curl West Sumbawa Pro is supported by Rip Curl Asia, the Government of West Sumbawa, the West Sumbawa Tourism Forum, SurfTime, and Magic Wave, and is sanctioned by the Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championship Tour.
