MAGIC WAVE _ Januari 2009

agaimana menurutmu
Judge untuk surfing di Indonesia udah
sangat professional, buktinya para judge
pro kita udah bisa masuk di event-event
besar skala internasional yang diadakan
di Bali selama ini.
Last words buat MW
MW emang good partner for us, kalau
gak ada kamu mungkin grommet-grommet
dan beginners yang ada di Bali yang
masih tertinggal gak bakalan dikenal ama
orang lain. Maju terus, long life MW!!!
Hai apa Kabar
Becik- becik
Bisa cerita kenapa kamu tertarik untuk
nyoba surfing
Karna aku hidup dekat laut..aku anak nelayan
gitu
Biasanya kamu surfing dimana
Aku suka surfing di Nusa dua temple
Kenapa suka surfing disitu
Karna tempat itu adalah home spotku.
Tapi bagiku Uluwatu itu tempat surf paling
baik.
Sekarang ini kamu kan cukup aktif
menjadi juri di kontes-kontes surfing
for grommet (MSC). Sejak kapan kamu
mulai menjadi juri
Ya kalau masalah jadi juri mungkin
udah dari tahun 2005 di grill fish Volcom
Comptetition. Waktu itu di Bukit, aku di
ajarin jadi juri ama Brad, dia dulu bareng
ama kita di Bukit Board Rider. Mungkin
sekarang ini dia masih aktif jadi juri ISC.
Sekarang kiranya aku bisa bermanfaat
bagi grommets yang ikut competetion
(MSC), ya dengan senang hati aku bantu
(MSC).
Siapa yang berperan menjadikan kamu
juri
Waktu di kontes Volcom Bli Lapur, terus di
MSC Piping Sacho.
Apa keasikannya jadi juri bagi kamu
Bisa menilai orang lain sebelum kita dinilai
hehe
Apa aja faktor yang dinilai dalam sebuah
kontes
Penilaiannya dari style ,manuver , dan
faktor ombak kali ya.
Perkembangan surfing grommet sekarang
ini di Bali bagaimana
Wow dahsyat men, sekarang banyak
sekali grommet-grommet yang pingin
coba surfing. Ada yang di bawah 10 tahun
lagi, ampe aku heran kok dikasih ya ama
ortunya. Sedangkan kita dulu waktu umur
segitu, jangankan surfing ke laut aja kita
gak dikasih. Pokoknya aku bangga ama
mereka-mereka & ortunya juga. Keep ripping
boys
Mekanismenya dalam penjurian MSC
bagaimana
Asik, deal aja ama partner. Kerjasama,
apalagi kita di MSC gak ada yg benarbenar
judge professional. Kita lihat,
mana yang paling menonjol diantara
grommet itu.
Kendala dalam menjadi juri apa
Waktu kondisi ombak jelek kali ya, susah
menilai orang karna setiap mereka take
off gak pernah mulus.
Hal apa yang menjadikan juri surfing
itu spesial menurut kamu
Semua yang berhubungan dengan surfing
itu special buatku. Karna aku kerja dan
dapat uang dari surfing. Pokoknya I cannot
live without surfing dah.
Selama menjadi juri kontes yang paling
berkesan dimana
Selama aku jadi judge, yang paling berkesan
itu di Volcom karna orang yang aku
nilai itu levelnya tinggi seperti Mega Semadhi,
Dedi Gun. Aku bisa dapet kesempatan
menilai orang yang surfingnya lebih
hebat dari aku, keren kan…..!! hehe
Perkembangan judge sekarang ini
Hi how are you
Good
Tell us why you were interested to try
surfing
Because I live by the sea...my dad is a
fisherman.
Where do you usually surf
I like surfing at Nusa Dua temple
Why do you like surfing there
Because it’s my home spot. But for me
Uluwatu is the best surfing spot.
Now you are busy judging grommet
contests (MSC). When did you start being
a judge
I’ve been a judge since 2005 at Grill Fish
Volcom Comptetition. It was at the Bukit,
and Brad taught me how to judge. He
used to be with us in the Bukit Board Riders.
I think he still judges in the ISC. Now
I can be useful for the grommets and I’m
happy to help. (MSC).
Who encouraged you to become a
judge
For the Volcom contest, Bli Lapur, and for
MSC, Piping Sacho.
What do you like about judging
We can score people before they score
us... hehe...
What do you look for when scoring in
a contest
Scoring for style, manoeuvres and
waves.
How is the development of surfing
grommets in Bali at the moment
Wow it’s awesome. Now lots of grommets
want to try surfing. There are boys
younger than 10 and I’m surprised their
parents let them surf. In the past, parents
wouldn’t let kids that age go surfing or
even into the ocean. I’m so proud of them
and their parents. Keep ripping boys.
What is the judging mechanism for
MSC
Great, we deal with our partner. We work
together, though at MSC we aren’t really
professional judges. We look at who
stands out from all the other grommets.
What are the challenges with being a
judge
When the waves are no good it’s hard
to score because the takeoffs are never
smooth.
What do you think makes judging special
Everything to do with surfing is special
for me because I work and make money
from surfing. Basically I cannot live without
surfing.
Since you’ve been a judge what has
been the most impressive contest
The most impressive was the Volcom because
the contestants were all high level
surfers such as Mega Semadhi & Dedi
Gun. I got the chance to judge surfers
much better than me, cool hey…..!! hehe
What do you think of the development
of judges now
Surfing judges in Indonesia are already
very professional, as seen by the fact that
our pro judges already judge international
level events held in Bali.
Last word for MW
MW is really a good partner for us, without
you the grommets and beginners in
Bali would be left behind and remain unknown.
Keep on going, long life MW!!!
