8 May 2013, Bali-Indonesia: The Asian Surfing Championships is delighted to announce that the 4-star ASC sanctioned West Java Surfing Championship 2013 will be held in Cimaja, West Java (province of Sukabumi) from May 31-June 3rd.
The seaside town of Cimaja boasts arguably one of the most consistent and quality right-hand cobblestone point breaks in Java, and is one of the favorite stops on the tour for Asia’s pro surfers who look forward to competing on this wave that offers up great potential for a variety of maneuvers.
Bali’s Lee Wilson, a two-time Indonesian Surfing Champion (2007 and 2009) has won the last two competitions at Cimaja (Quiksilver Open 2011 and 2012) and is looking forward to making it three in a row. “I love this wave,” says Wilson. “It’s an open face wave that moves kind of slow, perfect for carves, but does have barrel sections and is good for airs too. I always look forward to competing at Cimaja, it’s a fun place and a great wave.” When asked what he feels has been the key to his success at Cimaja he replied, “I don’t know, I just get lucky there!”
Cimaja is also the hometown of 2008 Indonesian Surfing Champion Dede Suryana, who won the West Java Open in 2010 in front of his hometown fans, as well as home to up and coming brothers Sandi Selamat and Andre Julian who also compete on the ASC and ISC tours.
With Rp. 25 million ($2,500 USD) total prize money up for grabs in the 4 star Men’s Open Division, Rp. 9 million ($900 USD) for the 1 star Women’s Division, and Rp. 9 million ($900 USD) in the 1 star Longboard Division, together with valuable ASC/ISC championships to be gained, the West Java Surfing Championship 2013 event is sure to provide great entertainment for surfing fans as well as exciting competition for Asia’s best professional surfers from Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and more.
