GOOFYFOOTERS DOMINATE AND LEE WILSON OUT IN ROUND 4 OF DAY 3 AT THE OAKLEY PRO 09

20 August 2009, Canggu-Bali : In the final minutes of the final heat of Round 4 today at the Oakley Pro 09 at Canggu Beach, top seeded Lee Wilson was eliminated by goofyfooter Rahtu Suargita when his last wave failed to score the 4.8 points necessary to regain the lead he had held for the first half of the heat, scoring only a 3.1.

Wilson had held on to his priority for the last 5 minutes, but the strong winds and increasingly long waits for waves left him with only a marginal wave with which to work with. Suargita had worked the inside section, bashing the lip from the underside, racking up enough points to take over the lead and eventually the heat win.

Overall, it was a day for goofyfooters at a venue that is usually dominated by regularfooted surfers, who can take full advantage of the right handed reef break to break out every trick in their repertoire, especially in today's windy and bumpy conditions.

But today it was Suargita, Mustofa Jeksen, Raditya Rondi, and Garut Widiarta who turned up the afterburners blasted away, in the end winning the majority of the Round 4 heats against their regularfooted competitors.

Agus Purnawan, Dedy Santoso, and Devis Ratif on their forehands advanced to the quarterfinals along with Made Awan, who is also a regularfooter but didn't have to surf his heat as Pepen Hendrik was unable to compete, having pulled a groin muscle during the final minutes of yesterdays competition.

Today's action got started early at 6:50 am, with the wind already starting to ripple the surface of the Indian Ocean. It was anticipated that the swell would be dropping with a longer swell period, and it was indeed a touch smaller with longer waits between sets, but the wind was the factor that steadily eroded the wave conditions to the point that at just after 9:00 am when Heat 8 of Round 4 was finished, the announcement went out that the surfing was finished for the day.

The next announcement was far more enjoyable….Everyone was invited to the nearby Echo Beach restaurant for a BBQ lunch to feast on fish, chicken, rice, salad, veggies and even drink a few San Miguel Lights if they wanted!

Standby time tomorrow will again be at 6:30 am, and though the forecast is calling for a significant increase in swell, it is expected that a slight decrease in the morning winds and the rising tide will provide great conditions for the completion of the event tomorrow.

DAY 2 OF OAKLEY PRO 09 AT CANGGU SEES ROUNDS 2 AND 3 FINISHED UP

19 August 2009, Canggu-Bali : With the second day of surfing completed at the Oakley Pro 09, Rounds 2 and 3 have finished up and tomorrow will bring the man-on-man format Round Four.

20 minute heats and plenty of waves on offer had Round 4 finished up at just after 12 pm, as the strengthening wind and lower tide put a stop to the action for the day, similar to yesterdays conditions.

The waves today were a bit smaller, in the 3-4 foot range, but with a slight bumpiness that challenged even the best of the surfers at times. Tomorrow's prediction is for another slight drop in wave height but an increase in swell period, so it should be another premium day at Canggu for the remaining contestants who will be putting on a great show.

The highlight of the day was surely Raditya Rondi in Heat 6 of Round 4, who on his backhand smashed a couple of waves for 8+ point rides. The young trickster then pulled off a backside 360 air reverse, switched stance for a few seconds, then attempted a kick flip on the inside and nearly pulled it off.

The lowlight of the day was Pepen Hendrik apparently pulling a groin muscle in the waning minutes of the final heat of the day. He got six points for the wave and a second place finish so advances to Round 4, and we hope that his injury is not severe and that he will be able to surf tomorrow.

Tomorrow's call will again be for a 6:30 am start, and with the expected conditions on offer together with the caliber of surfers in Round 4, it will be a stellar show. See you tomorrow on the beach!

ROUND ONE OF OAKLEY PRO 09 AT CANGGU COMPLETED TODAY

18 August 2009, Canggu-Bali : The first round of the Oakley Pro 09 was completed today at Canggu in solid 4-5 foot surf, with some larger 6 foot sets closing out the beach on occasion. The action got underway at just after 7:30 and finished up at about 11:00, as the wind coupled with a fast dropping tide had conditions deteriorating rapidly causing the Contest Directors to throw up the red flag and call it a day.

With 12 days remaining in the 16 day waiting period that began on the 15th of August, there is no need hurry and rush through the event. The goal of the Oakley crew is to hold the competition in the very best waves possible, so as the swell forecast looks very good for the next 4-5 days, so its reasonable to expect that event could run over the next several days in excellent conditions.

Canggu is subject to strong side shore winds picking up towards mid day during these peak months of July through September, so the first half of the day will see the majority of the action throughout the event unless there are days when the wind comes later or (hopefully) fails to make an appearance.

A standby call has gone out for those surfers competing in Round 2 to be ready to go at 6:30 am tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. See attached heat draw for the Day 2 matchups.
