Queen of the Groms

By Joob
THE next women’s world champion surfer may very well be living on Phuket.

Annissa Tita Flynn is already turning heads, as well as good waves, as she impresses everyone with her surfing ability. And all at just eleven years of age.

Annissa, a pupil at Phuket Thai Hua School, is a quiet girl who loves the water. At the weekend she spends every available minute practising her moves on the waves and will often persuade her father, Michael, to take her to the beach, during the week, if she finishes her homework early. It’s this dedication to the sport that has brought her success.

Grom’s Tear It Up on Day 2 of Quiksilver King of the Groms at Kuta Beach

By Joob
10 July 2009, Kuta-Bali:  The level of surfing measurably increased on Day 2 at the Quiksilver King of the Groms today at Kuta Beach during Rounds 1 and 2, due to the presence of seeded groms now competing as well as the slight drop in wave size that created much cleaner conditions for the day’s surfing.

The 2-3 foot waves were lined up much better, so the more proficient groms were finding longer and steeper walls to race down before taking deep bottom turns and lining up to blast a big hack or try to punt an air.  There were still some 4-foot closeouts to dodge, but overall the conditions were very close to perfect for the 16 and under grommets.

Dreaming of Real Swell

By Craigo
Took a road trip from Pattaya to Phuket with a couple of Starboard SUP's, wanted to check out the Quicksilver Event at Kalim.

Blew a radiator on the way down and got towed last 70km into town. But as far as these annoyances go, it went very smoothly and I only lost a few hours.
The people in the South of Thailand are very friendly and helpful and everything looked very clean with less rubbish lying around than in other parts of the country.

Ekkarat Sriden Takes Men’s Open Win at Quiksilver Thailand Surf Series Monsoon Riders Contest at Kalim Beach in Phuket

By Joob
15 June 2009, Phuket –Thailand: Ekkarat Sriden of Kamala Beach used his small wave prowess to full effect in a challenging final at Kalim Beach on Sunday to take the top spot in the Men’s Open division at the first contest of the three event Quiksilver Thailand Surf Series in the beautiful world class tourist destination of Phuket.

“I knew if I got the right waves I could win, but it was really hard sometimes to know which one would give me the chance to do a big move”, said Sriden after the 25 minute final. “I surf with the other guys all the time, so I knew I had to be aggressive to win” he added. And he did just that, posting 4.5 points on his first wave to take the lead before adding several 3 point + waves to finish with a two wave best score total of 8.25 to best runner up Jamie Smith’s 6.50.
