KERAMAS, Bali\/Indonesia (Monday, February 4, 2013) \u2013 ASP International is pleased to announce the sanctioning of the Oakley Pro Bali at Keramas as an ASP World Championship Tour (WCT) license for 2013. The event will be the fifth of 10 events on the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour and the first elite tour event in Indonesia since the Rip Curl Pro Search in 2008.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very excited about the addition of the Oakley Pro Bali to the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour schedule,\u201d Renato Hickel, ASP WCT Manager, said. \u201cThis will be the first ASP World Title-deciding event at Keramas, an internationally-recognized venue of high-performance surfing, and we look forward to the ASP Top 34 doing battle there for years to come.\u201dWhile the righthand reef break of Keramas will serve as the primary venue, Oakley has green lit the performance-oriented beachbreaks of nearby Canggu as a backup location. The Indonesian island paradise is a recognized host to a bevy of world-class breaks, making the Oakley Pro Bali one of the most anticipated events of the 2013 schedule.<\/p>\n
\u201cKeramas, to me, is the most high-performance wave on the planet,\u201d Jordy Smith, current ASP WCT surfer, said. \u201cOakley have had their world junior event there for a few years and I\u2019m glued to the computer every time it\u2019s on. To have the Top 34 there, it\u2019s going to be a huge challenge for the judges as the performances are going to be next level. This is really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having previously hosted the Oakley ASP World Junior Championships, the upgrade to an ASP WCT event represents the eyewear giant\u2019s first foray into the elite level of competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurfing is an integral part of Oakley\u2019s DNA and we are proud of our six year legacy in Indonesia,\u201d Scott Bowers, Oakley SVP Global Sports Marketing, said. \u201cWe have hosted a number of specialty surfing events in Bali from surf shop challenge and pro junior events to crowning the ASP World Junior Champion last year and we are eager to take the next step in this evolution. Not only is the Balinese coastline known for its wealth of high performance waves, but the rich culture and enthusiasm for the sport of surfing in Bali make it the perfect location for the inaugural Oakley Pro.\u201d<\/p>\n
