The Oakley Global Challenge serves up perfect barrels and perfect all round waves at
the high performance wave of Keramas Bali, Indonesia. From the get go Shaun was clearly out on a mission to win the event with massive heat score all through the event.
The 19-year-old was all class in the barrelling right-handers, weaving through the eye of two reeling tubes to snare a pair of near-perfect 9’s (9.5 & 9.43). After the heat, Joubert said he was pleased to be in Bali.
The duo of Nick Godfrey and Shaun Joubert were flying the flag high with both of them having sterling performances. Both making a name for themselves and South Africa by showing the rest of the world the level of talent we have here on our home soil.
Nick Godo was on fine form and made it all the way to the quarter finals finishing 5th overall. Quintin Jones was also there as Nick's mentor and coach and was able to bare witness to the amazing world class surfing that went down at Karama's.
Shaun Jobert went on another round to the semi finals where he met his match in the talented Marc Lacomare from France and unfortunately bowed out and finished 3rd overall.
The boys are still in Indonesia enjoying a solid ground swell, the event finished a few days earlier which has allowed them to sit back and enjoy some good surf with friends after a there hard work and big effort. Look forward to hearing all about it when you get home Kido.
Other news hot off the press is that Mossel bay charger and all round ripper and nice guy Indy Rookin-Smith has been selected to surf the Springbok trials after an excellent performance at the S.A surfing Championships. The trials will be held in Port Alfred on Saturday 29th of November. Well done and good luck
