Another Lakey Peak local who progressed into the<br />
Quarterfinals was Oney Anwar who is fresh off a runnerup<br />
finish at the recent So Sri Lanka Pro. Anwar will join<br />
the likes of Tomas King, Callum Robson, Noah Beschen and<br />
Elliot Paerata-Reid in the Quarterfinals at Cloud 9.<br />
The iconic Cloud 9<br />
tower was shaking on its<br />
foundations when former<br />

hero John-Mark Tokong<br />
hit the water in Heat 3 of<br />
