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.
