Surfer Girls Pua and Salini Take On Cimaja Point
in West Java
26 June 2012, Kuta-Bali: Surfer Girls Pua Johnson
and Salini Rengganis just returned to Bali from a trip to Cimaja Point
in West Java, where they got a chance to surf and attend the Quiksilver Open
West Java surfing competition that took place from June 14-17.
It was Pua’s first contest ever outside of Bali, so she was really
excited about it. She traveled to Cimaja with
her father Richard, leaving on an early morning flight from Bali to Jakarta,
and because she had never been to Cimaja before, didn’t know that the
beach wasn’t close to Jakarta. “I was so sleepy when we left Bali,
but when we got to Jakarta I was so psyched…all I wanted to do was surf,” she
said. “But then I found out we had to drive in a car for about 5
hours! I did fall back asleep in the car, but as soon as we got to
the hotel I couldn’t wait to go surfing. There weren’t many people
in the water and they let me catch some waves, so it was really fun.“
The next morning she and her dad went down to the beach to prepare
for her heat and she started wondering where Salini was. Turns
out Salini was stuck in traffic on the drive from Jakarta, so Pua went
out and surfed her heat under Richards watchful eye and coaching. “I
was super hyped to be at the contest, and when my heat came I was a little
nervous. I could have done better,” she said. “I almost made it
through my heat against Michaela and Iis, but I let it slip away. Next
time I’ll try and train harder, and hopefully do better.”
It was Salini’s second trip to Cimaja, and she was happy just
to be there at the event with Pua and the other girls, even though
she missed her heat. “I had been at a photo shoot for a film
festival for three days in Bandung, and we finished at 4 am in the
morning. So we left at 5 am and got stuck in traffic,” she
explained. “But I’m glad I finally got there and could hang out and
surf with the other girls in the afternoon.”
The next day she got to go to another nearby surf spot and do some
free surfing with Annissa from Thailand, Gamala Hanafiah from
Jakarta and some others, while Gamala’s husband Andryz took photos of
them from the water.
Nadia Bintoro,
Head of Marketing Communication at Surfer Girl commented: “It’s unfortunate
that Salini wasn’t able to make it to her heat, but Pua did
quite well competing outside Bali for the first time. We are very proud of the
girls and believe it would make valuable knowledge for the next competitions”
“My trip to Cimaja was so much fun,” said Salini. “Thanks Surfer Girl! Now I’m looking
forward to my next trip to Scar Reef in Sumbawa!”
Good
luck Salini!
