Keramas provided excellent small waves for round one of the Billabong Pro Junior Bali. This event is the ASP's first Pro Junior Event in Bali and the only ASP rated event in Indonesia for 2009.
Australia's Thomas “Tiger” Woods (Coolangatta/Qld/Australia) was the day’s standout surfer earning both the highest scoring single ride with a 9.5 out of a possible 10 and the highest scoring combined two wave heat tally of 17.5 points out of a possible 20 in his impressive win.
"It's such a performance wave here, even on the slightly smaller days like today and it's very easy to chase the excellent scores as the sections just keep popping up," said 16 year old Woods.
Woods has free surfed this break on three previous trips to Bali and is excited about the building swell forecast for the coming days adding, " The wave stays the same as it gets bigger and it's just a super performance wave from the start to finish, you can start with barrel rides, move through floating sections and power through bottom and top turns then finish with aerials, it's a great wave to compete in and I can't wait for tomorrow's heat in bigger swells!"
