5 May 2013, Kuta-Bali: With the second event of the 2013 Asian Surfing Championship season now in the books, the ASC now announces the 24 surfers who will be competing for the Indonesian wildcard spot in the upcoming ASP World Championship Tour event, the Oakley Pro Bali, that will take place in Bali from June 18-29.
A privilege awarded to only a handful of surfers each year, the winner of the ASC sanctioned Premium grade Oakley Pro Bali Trials that runs from June 14-17 will go on to test himself against the world’s top 34 pro surfers at Bali’s high performance righthander of Keramas coming up beginning on June 18th, after pocketing a nice cash prize of $2,500 and valuable ASC championship points.
The Oakley Pro Bali Trials will run from June 14-17, and as an ASC Premium event will see the ACS’s top 16 ranked pro surfers joined by 8 special invitees, which includes locals from Canggu, Pererenan, and Keramas, that will round out the 24 man heat draw. The plan is to begin the competition at the backup location of Canggu on June 14th, wave conditions permitting, with the goal of ending at Keramas for the finals on the 17th, a day prior to the official opening day of the Oakley Pro Bali on the 18th. As in year’s past with the Oakley World Pro Junior series, there will be a Balinese ceremony at the beach to open and bless the event.
