7th Annual ASC
Sanctioned Monsoon Mayhem International Surf Challenge Returns to Desaru Beach
in Malaysia from January 4-6
21 December 2012,
Kuta-Bali: The 7th
annual Monsoon Mayhem International Surf Challenge returns to Desaru Beach in
Malaysia from 4-6 January 2013 as a 2-star Asian Surfing Championship event,
which will draw both professional and amateur surfers from all over South East
Asia including Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan to compete
for the $14,000 MYR ($4,600 USD) in total prize money and ASC championship
points, and just to have heaps of fun at this unique event.
Located just east of Johor Baru in Malaysia and the closest
surfing beach to Singapore, Desaru Beach is a white sand strip of beachbreak
that can offer up peaceful glassy conditions as well as maniacally thumping
closeouts during the monsoon season, so what will be on offer each year is
anybody’s guess. Mother Nature is a fickle beast and each year does her best to
make sure that the event lives up to its “Mayhem” moniker.
There will be surfing competitions in four categories, Men’s
Open, Women’s Open Masters (35 years of age and older), and Bodyboard), as well
the Slide Jam Longboarding Competition, which saw tremendous success last year
and is expected to draw skaters from all over Malaysia and Singapore to compete
for the $1,000 RM first place prize.
The brainchild of Nazir “Ajill” Salleh of Bigfoot
Industries, a surf and skate product retailer in Singapore, the Monsoon Mayhem
event has continued to grow in popularity each year as a surf, skate, and music
event. This is the third year the surfing competition has been sanctioned by
the ASC, and it looks to be another exciting event drawing surfers, skaters,
and their fans to the South East Malaysian beach once again.

About the Asian Surfing
Championships
The
Asian Surfing Championships began in 2011 with the mission of growing the sport
of surfing in South East Asia from the grassroots level by assisting each
country in organizing professional surfing events that will develop the skills
of their surfers in healthy competition as well as to draw attention to their
area for the progression of surfing locally, nationally, and throughout the SEA
area.
Organized
surfing competitions have historically been the best medium for the development
of surfers and for the sport of surfing, where learning how to compete fairly
and to being disciplined in training and competition are key skills needed not
only for surfing but also for life.
The
ASC works with the local, national and multinational event sponsors and
organizers to maximize the results of these competitive surfing events towards
accomplishing the goals of sharing the sport of surfing and bringing positive
economic, social, and environmental benefits to the people in these South East
Asian countries. See more at
