17 August 2009, Phuket-Thailand:  11 year old Annissa Flynn took both Junior and Women’s division wins yesterday the Quiksilver King of the Jungle event at Kamala Beach, coming in only briefly to change rash shirts before padding out again between the two finals. She deftly maneuvered her way through the often tricky 2-foot beachbreak during the two 20-minute final heats to capitalize on scoring opportunities, besting her rivals and coming back to the beach with incredible back-to-back wins.

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.

Annissa Tita Flynn from Phuket met today with Phuket Governor Khun Wichai Phraisa-ngop regarding her upcoming surf trip to Bali and sponsorship by international surf clothing company Roxy.

Annissa, who placed in both the Wahine (ladies) division as well as in the Grom (kids) division in the recent “Quiksilver Thailand Surf Series - Monsoon Riders” surfing competition at Kalim Beach, Patong has received sponsorship from Quiksilver’s Roxy clothing line for girls.

As previously mentioned by the Phuket Boardriders Club, Quiksilver’s Jake Patterson, officially invited Annissa to compete in the “Quiksilver King of The Groms” surfing competition in Kuta Beach, Bali on July 8th through 13th.

This Year’s Thailand Surf Series sponsored by Quiksilver showed the world the beauty and grace of one of Thailand’s up-coming female surfers. Placing in both the Wahine (ladies) division as well as in the Grom (kids) division was our own Annissa Tita Flynn from Phuket Thaihua School.
