Bali’s Mega Semadhi hat sich dieses Jahr den Sieg beim Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang 2013 nicht nehmen lassen. Dennoch hat er es spannend gemacht, denn erst in den zwei letzten Minuten des fianlen Heats konnte er mit einer klassischen Padang Padang Barrel den nötigen Score sichern um auf ganz oben dem Treppchen zu landen.
“This win means so much to me, here at my home and in front of my family, and because of last year too. In those final minutes I was trying to be patient, thinking that if I could lose in the final minutes like last year, I could also be the one to win in the last minute too. When that last set came in I said not this one, not this one, I gotta pick the right one. And then it was like a fairly tale come true when I heard the score and that I won.” so Semadhi.
Auf Platz zwei setzte sich der Newcomer Jacob Willcox aus Margaret River, der zum ersten Mal auf der Insel war. “This is my first time in Bali and first time to surf Padang-Padang, so I’m super stoked to come in second and happy for Mega, because he really deserved the win,” so Willcox.
