Joske wins Bali surfing final
August 6th, 2007
JAKARTA: Australian No. 2 Pro Junior Heath Joske won the third and final event of the Billabong Pro Junior Series Indonesia, defeating Shaun Joubert of South Africa.
The victory put Joske in the position of overall champion of the three-leg series. The previous events were held in Keramas in May and Kuta Reef in June.
“To win this contest and this series is just over the top. There was some tough competition out there, from the locals like Mustofa, Garut and Raditya and from the other guys. I just want to thank everybody,” he said.
Joske pocketed US$2,200, a Balinese headdress and products from Billabong Indonesia. Runner up Joubert earned $900 while third finishers Dale Lovelock and Dean Bowen each received $500.
The top ranking Indonesian at the series was 18-year-old Balinese Mustofa Jeksen. He won a wildcard entry spot in the 2008 Billabong ASP Word Junior Championship Von Zipper Trials in Sydney, Australia. — JP
