Competitors Locked In For Upcoming Oakley ASP World Junior Championships Bali
KERAMAS, Bali/Indonesia (Wednesday, September 26, 2012) – The
Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) 2012 Men's and Women's World
Junior Champions will be decided next month at the Oakley ASP World
Junior Championships Bali. The ASP's seven regions including:
Australasia, Africa, Hawaii, Europe, Japan, North America and South
America have used their respective Pro Junior series' to determine their
regional representatives at the event who will now battle it out to be
the first ASP World Champions crowned in Indonesia.
Andrew Doheny (USA) finished runner-up at this event in Bali last
year and will be looking to use his exciting brand of surfing to push
for another solid result next month.
"Last year's event was a good experience," Doheny said. "The waves
were really fun and I had a great time, doing well in the contest made
the trip that much better. I'm really exited to go back and try my best
in the contest and get some good surf. I like going to Bali it's always
fun times there."
Maxime Huscenot (FRA), 2009 ASP World Junior Champion, will be
competing as a junior for the last time at the Oakley ASP World Junior
Championships Bali. Husenot's smooth style and competitive experience
will see him enter the event as one of the favourites to take it out.
"I'm feeling good and have good boards at the moment," Huscenot said.
"I've been working hard lately, I've trained physically since last year
and I have a good rhythm going. This is my last opportunity as a junior
so I'm going to Bali with hopes of clinching the World Title! I know
the wave pretty well and it is very similar to my home wave in Reunion
Island."
Rosanny Alvarez (VEN) will be the first surfer from Venezuela to
compete at the ASP World Junior Championships after she claimed the
prestigious ASP South America Pro Junior title.
"I am very excited to have secured the ASP South American Junior
Title, that is unheard of for my country," said Alvarez. "Here in
Venezuela we do not have much support for travel and to compete, but the
president of the Venezuelan Federation of Surf is seeking sponsorship
for me to represent my country for the first time in the Oakley ASP
World Junior Championships and I believe everything will be okay.
Already I am counting the days traveling to Bali!"
Matt Banting (AUS), the 18-year-old from Port Macquarie, Australia
has had a breakthrough year in 2012. Banting started the year with a
bang, winning both the Pro Junior and the men's divisions at the
prestigious Australian Open Of Surfing and now sits at a very
respectable 65th on the ASP Men's World Rankings.
"I watched the World Juniors at Narrabeen for years when I was a
grom," Banting said. "I watched guys like Adriano De Souza and Jordy
Smith in the finals and it's always been a goal to win one myself. Bali
is a great venue! It has a wide variety of waves, great food, great
people and the water is warm. My preparation has been good as I've just
come off the Europe World Tour leg. It's good to get home, tweak a few
things and reset for Bali."
Nao Omura (JPN) who finished equal 5th at last year's Oakley ASP
World Junior Championships is looking forward to returning to Bali and
competing on the world stage.
"I'm so happy and excited to be in the Oakley ASP World Junior
Championships again!" Omura said. "The waves in Bali are always fun,
with both barrels and rippable waves. I've been following the ASP Star
events because my home doesn't have much waves, and I'm training hard at
home for the competition."
The Oakley ASP World Junior Championships Bali will run from October 6 – 17. For LIVE webcast and event videos and more check www.oakleyprojunior.com
