Volcom holds teen surfing competition

Leading sportswear manufacturer Volcom will hold the final round of its 2004-2005 Totally Crustaceous Tour teenage surfing championship on Sunday, July 17, at Kuta beach.

Around 60 young surfers will compete in the championship's three divisions of under-14, under-18 and Pro-Am.

The young surfers were selected through at least 10 Volcom qualifying rounds held during the year on beaches at Negara (Sword Fish Series), Sanur (Gecko Fish Series), Pecatu (Grill Fish Series), Kuta (Flying Fish Series) and Cimaja-Pelabuhan Ratu (Heli Fish Series).

Weather permitting, several Indonesian professional surfers will show their skills in an air show contest.

In addition, a concert featuring Psychofun, The Hydrant, Navicula and Shaggydog is planned to provide spectators of the finals with lively entertainment.

Aimed at providing space and opportunities for young local surfers, the Totally Crustaceous Tour was first held in 2000. Ever since, the event has became one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year for the Indonesian surfing community.--JP
