SANUR: Rusty is presenting the 6th annual "Rumble in Da Jungle" surfing competition to be held at Bangsal Beach, Sanur, from April 26 to May 16, the organizer said in a media statement.
The first stop of the Coca-Cola ISC Tour 2009, this six-star rated event has a prize pool of Rp 35 million (US$3,200) as well as and more importantly, critical championship points to secure ratings in the highly competitive field.
The seething barrels of Sanur reef will certainly make for a death-or-glory affair for those ready to charge the treacherous inside section which breaks over razor-sharp coral.
Contest director Kane Faint has high hopes for this year's event.
"Although Sanur has a reputation for being notoriously fickle, we have a three-week window for everything to come together," he said in the statement.
"Last year was pure perfection and fingers crossed this year will be just as good."
Rusty team rider and 2008 winner, Made Awan, is eager to start the season with a strong result.
"I feel confident because Sanur is one of my favorite waves, it's long, fast, and grows as it hits the reef," he said.
"My boards are going great so I'm looking forward to doing well again this year."
Sabre eyewear will reward the surfer who rides the "Best Barrel" during the event with a Rp 2 million in prize money. - JP
