Round 1 of Mens Open
and Bodyboard Divisions Completed on Day One of Rip Curl Pro Terengganu
30 November 2012, Terengganu-Malaysia:
Day One of the Rip Curl Pro Terengganu got off to an exciting start this
morning as Terengganu’s local dignitaries and event sponsors sounded off air horns
to officially open the event at 10:30 am.
The Round 1 competitors in the Men’s Open were the first to
see action in the 2-3 foot waves, with the mild weather and minimal winds
making for perfect conditions for surfers and spectators alike, with many of
Malaysia’s surfing fans heading down to the beach to get their weekend
started. In the Terengganu area,
their weekend consists of Friday and Saturday due to their Muslim religion,
which necessitates a mid day break for prayers each day as well.
After the mid day break, the 26 bodyboarders from Malaysia,
the Maldives, and Japan had their chance to compete, while some of the other
competitors skated on the slalom course and free surfed down the beach, and the
spectators had a chance to take surf lessons with Jonathan Morrison-Deaker from
the Rip Curl School of Surf, play games at the Fanta and Rip Curl booths, get
their board painted by surfboard artist Laura Mannheim, eat tons of Nestle ice
cream, and just relax and watch the action going down in the water.
Tomorrow will see Round 2 of the Men’s Open hit the water
first thing at 7:30 am, in what promises to be a very full day of competitive
action. If you are anywhere near
Terengganu, come on down to the beach and enjoy the show!

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 http://www.asiansurfingtour.com
