KERAMAS, Bali/Indonesia (Tuesday, June 18, 2013) – Round 1 of the Oakley Pro Bali has been called on this morning with the opening heat hitting the water at 7am in clean four-to-six foot (1.5 metre) waves at the primary venue of Keramas.
Event No. 5 of 10 on the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour (WCT), the Oakley Pro Bali commences its maiden installment as an elite tour event and the world’s best surfers are on the scene to do battle in the high-performance playground. “The waves have turned up for Day 1 of the competition window and we’ll be commencing Round 1 of competition at 11am,” Rich Porta, ASP International Head Judge, said. “Keramas is an extremely tidal venu so it’s likely that we’ll see several heats run this morning before going on a hold through mid-day and then running again this afternoon. We will monitor conditions and make adjustments accordingly. Good luck to all our competitors today.” Up first this morning will be Adriano de Souza (BRA), 26, Bede Durbidge (AUS), 30, and Dusty Payne (HAW), 24, in the opening heat of Round 1.
