Form Guide

After missing the season opening Mentawai event due to a knee injury, Raditya has not completely rehabbed the injury but was able to bounce back enough to compete at Cimaja and win in a knee brace with his trademark vicious backhand attack. "I'm not 100% and still feel some pain in my knee, and I didn't surf for over 2 weeks except for a five minute surf yesterday, and today I did a full day surf so I think I just got lucky. I did use a bit longer board and just waited for the big sets. I usually ride a 5'7 but this is a 5'10 Akaba board, the same one I won Scar Reef on," said a stoked Raditya just after winning the Final and Rp 10 million (about US$1,000).

A very special thing occurred at the Surfing Life Oakley Big Wave Awards last night

Julian Wilson (AUS), 23, has claimed his maiden ASP World Championship Tour (WCT) victory today, besting a rampaging Gabriel Medina (BRA), 18, in the dying seconds of the Rip Curl Pro Portugal.

Jack Freestone (AUS) took out the Oakley ASP World Junior Championships Bali over Hawaiian Ezekiel Lau (HAW) in a battle of the in-form surfers of the event. With the swell dropping and unfavourable winds, the surfers were forced of unleash their aerial attacks in the 2 to 3 foot (1.5 meter) punchy surf at Keramas today.
