Oakley Indonesia is proud to announce their second annual Coca-Cola ISC Grade 2 Pro Junior event at the high performance black sand wave mecca of Canggu on the west coast of Bali from August 1-14.
With a prize purse of over Rp 30 million, not only do the Under 21 year old contestants have the chance to bring home cash and valuable Coca-Cola ISC Pro Junior Division Championship points, this Oakley Pro Junior is also the deciding event to determine Indonesia’s wildcard entry into the ASP sanctioned Oakley World Pro Junior Championships to be held at Keramas from October 3-14. The Oakley World Pro Junior boasts the richest prize purse in Pro Junior event history with a total of US 75,000!
Oakley is dedicated to supporting the development of surfing in Bali and throughout Indonesia and sees events such as these Pro Junior events in addition to their annual 6-star Oakley Pro (held at Canggu in April) as great mediums for this effort.
“We are amped to see the skills of the kids improving so dramatically and we want to continue to provide them with opportunities to push themselves and keep on improving, so to give them with a specific Pro Junior event here in Bali is what we thought would accomplish this goal the best. Plus it’s a great reward as the key event to find out who will be strong enough to compete with the best Pro Juniors in the world in the upcoming Oakley World Pro Junior event,” said Oakley’s Sports & Alternate Marketing Manager; Gino Andrias.
The Pro Junior Division of the Indonesian Surfing Championships is specifically for surfers under 21 years of age, and it is expected to draw the top pro junior surfers from around all over Indonesia to compete in August.

Oakley Indonesia dengan bangga mempersembahkan perhelatan kedua Coca-Cola ISC Grade 2 Pro Junior yang akan digelar di pantai yang menyajikan pasir hitam dan ombak masif, yaitu Canggu yang terletak di bagian barat pantai Bali tanggal 1-14 Agustus.
Dengan total hadiah lebih dari 30 juta rupiah, event Oakley Pro Junior tidak hanya memberi kesempatan para kontestan di bawah 21 tahun untuk membawa pulang uang tunai dan mengantungi poin tinggi dari Coca-Cola ISC Pro Junior Division Championship, tapi juga merupakan gerbang untuk mendapatkan wildcard entry dari Indonesia untuk event akbar ASP Oakley World Pro Junior yang bakal dihelat di Keramas dari 3-14 Oktober. Oakley World Pro Junior sendiri menawarkan hadiah tertinggi di sepanjang sejarah event Pro Junior, yaitu total hadiah sebesar $US 75.000!
Oakley sendiri mendukung penuh perkembangan olahraga surfing di Bali khususnya seluruh Indonesia dan melihat bahwa event-event seperti ajang Pro Junior ini di samping inagurasi strata-6 Oakley Pro (dihelat di Canggu, bulan April kemarin) adalah media yang bagus untuk hal ini.
“Kami terkejut melihat bagaimana skill dari anak-anak ini meningkat secara signifikan dan kita ingin memberikan kesempatan kepada mereka untuk membuktikan sekaligus meningkatkan kemampuan mereka. Dengan menyediakan ruang yang lebih spesifik untuk mereka yaitu ajang Pro Junior ini di Bali kami pikir adalah cara terbaik untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut. Juga, menjadi sebuah kebanggaan yaitu menjadi salah satu ajang kunci untuk menemukan siapa yang cukup kuat buat bertarung di event Pro Junior terbaik di dunia mendatang, event Oakley World Pro Junior,“ ujar Sport & Alternate Marketing Manajer Oakley, Gino Andrias.
Divisi Pro Junior dari Indonesian Surfing Championship dikhususkan untuk para surfer dibawah 21 tahun, dan diharapkan untuk menarik para surfer pro junior dari seluruh Indonesia untuk bertarung bulan Agustus ini.
