Video: Komune Bali Pro

The Komune Bali Pro got off to a great start at Keramas on Wednesday, October 8. The 13-heat opening round of the Qualifying Series (QS) and Asian Surfing Championship (ASC) event showcased great local and international surfers on 4-5 foot waves. Standouts included Indonesia’s Pepen Hendrik, who scored 9.50 on a single wave with a deep tube and Australia’s Jordin Watson, who took the day’s highest two-wave total with 16.50 out of a possible 20.

Watson is quoted on the ASP website:

That heat was amazing, so much fun. I’ve been working all year and hadn’t had the chance to come to Indonesia yet, so when this event popped up I couldn’t say no. It’s so much fun out there, it’s such a great wave for natural footers, I can’t wait for my next heat.

The Komune Bali Pro is hosted by the Mad Hueys. If, like me, you’ve never heard of them before, their website says they’re a “fishing crew” (I didn’t know that was a thing) from Australia’s Gold Coast. The crew is also made up of several surfers (makes sense) and a Finnish snowboarder.

A total of 64 competitors from Indonesia, Hawaii, France and Australia have come to Keramas, located on Bali’s East Coast, for this first-ever edition of the competition. Participating in the 1-Star ASP QS event is a mix of former World Championship Tour surfers and young up and comers.

But enough droning on from me. If you really want to see what a great start the Komune Bali Pro had, check out this video of Wednesday’s action from the Mad Hueys. It’s mostly rad surfing, but there are some shots of girls’ bikini-clad butts for those who need that sort of thing (just in case you thought the surf scene was getting too progressive).
