  ISC Awards 2010

  

 23 November 2010, Kuta-Bali:  The crowning of the Coca-Cola ISC Tour surfing champions took place last night in the Discovery Room of the Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel in Kuta - Bali, where hundreds of surfers, surf industry members, media, and supporters gathered to celebrate the 7th year of continued growth and success of the ISC and to applaud the achievements of the 2010 ISC champions.
 
The evening program got started at 8:30 pm with MC Tai Graham welcoming the attendees and introducing ISC CEO Tipi Jabrik, who also welcomed the audience and gave a brief summary of the year’s activities, which included sanctioning and running a total of 19 events during 2010.
 
There were 7 Open/Women/Masters Division events (Oakley, Rusty, Reef, the government of West Java, the government of Rote Ndao, Quiksilver, and Rip Curl), 2 Pro Junior Division events (Billabong and Oakley), 8 Junior Division events (Rusty, Quiksilver and Rip Curl), and 2 Specialty events (Oakley World Pro Junior and Bali International Sport Week) for a total of 19 events.
 
Next, Jabrik presented appreciation awards to representatives of event sponsors Oakley, Rusty, Reef, the West Java government, the Rote Ndao government, Quiksilver, and Rip Curl, and surf industry supporters Baliwista (Bali Lifeguard Department), the environmental group GUS (Gelomban Udara Segar), and media including SurfTime Magazine, and Magic Wave Surf Community Newspaper.
 
Finally, Jabrik presented the largest appreciation award to Sri “Ipung” Purwanto, Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia’s Corporate Social Responsibility Coordinator.  Earlier this year the ISC and CCAI signed a historic 3-year sponsorship agreement, and Mr. Puranto told the audience how pleased he was to be part of this program that is not only helping to grow the sport of surfing in Indonesia but also creating more awareness about the environment and working to clean up Bali’s beaches and the ocean.
 
A buffet dinner followed, during which the audience was treated to a spectacular “Year in Review” video by ISC’s videographer Sean Gilhooley.
 
Then it was on to the crowning of the 2010 Indonesian Surfing champions, with the highlight of the awards being the crowning of 18-year-old Putra Hermawan from Nusa Lembongan as 2010 ISC Open Division Champion. He takes home a check for an unprecedented Rp 100 million (approximately $11,000 USD), the largest amount ever given to an Indonesian surfing champion.  He also won the Pro Junior Division Championship (under 21 years of age), for which he received another Rp 5 million ($550 USD).  Hermawan was last year’s Junior Division Champion as well, so in just two years he has won 3 division titles, indeed an impressive accomplishment.
 
 The Women’s Division championship was won by 28 year old Yasnyiar “Bonne” Gea, originally from Nias but now living in Bali, making this her 3rd consecutive ISC Women’s Championship title.
 
Taking the Longboard Division Championship again this year is 29 year old Husni Ridwan from Batu Keras, West Java, and the Masters Division Championship (over 35 years old) was won by Ketut “Kombong” Juliarta in his first season competing as a Master.
 
Rounding out the awards was 14-year-old Jeren Kiring from Bali hoisting the Junior Division (under 16 years old) Championship trophy.  In just two years of competition, this adept young surfer has risen from virtual obscurity to Indonesia’s Junior surfing champion.  Certainly this won’t be the last time this young man will climb on a stage to accept another championship trophy.
 
With the awards presentations completed, it was straight into the music with the live band Shaggy Dog from Jogjakarta.  They treated the audience to just over an hour of their upbeat tunes before calling it a night.
 
The ISC would like to say a special thanks to all their sponsors and supporters including, Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia, Oakley, Rusty, Reef, West Java government, Rote Ndao government, Billabong, Quiksilver, Rip Curl, GUS, Baliwista, SurfTime, MagicWave, Bali & Beyond, Now Bali, Bali Down Under, Jakarta Post, the Bali Times, Lines, Surfersvillage, Baliwaves, SurfLine, and IndoSurfLife.
