This is the inaugural running of the Rip Curl Scar Reef Pro in West Sumbawa, an event envisioned several years ago by two intrepid surfers named Ago and Cahyo, residents of the nearby town of Taliwang. West Sumbawa became a regency three years ago with its own tourism department, and recognizing the value of the surfing potential in the area, Ago and Cahyo lobbied for government assistance to organize a surf contest. In less than two months ago after governor agreed to provide some money for the event, funds, the Coca-Cola ISC Tour management, the Rip Curl Search Team, and Ago and Cahyo, the Rip Curl Scar Reef Pro became a reality. And according to Governor Zulkifli Muhadli in his event opening address, he will be supporting this event next year and in the years to come. He also added, I also promise to do something about the road coming in here. Looks like it needs some work! This was met by loud cheers from both visitors and locals alike.
