Tuesday, 11 February 2024, Bali, Indonesia:  In another history making accomplishment, after just winning a World Junior Championship Title in La Union, Philippines last month to become the first ever Indonesian to win a World Championship title, the World Surf League has just awarded Bronson Meydi a wildcard into Stop #2 of the elite World Championship Tour, where he will put his mind-blowing skills to the test against the best competitive surfers in the world at the new Surf Abu Dhabi wave park in the United Arab Emirates.

“Getting this wildcard means so much to me,” Meydi said. “This will be my first CT event, so coming up against the world’s best at the wave pool is going to be crazy. I’m excited to see my surfing up against everyone and see if it belongs on the CT. I have surfed in this facility a few times, so I feel like I’ve had some good experiences here and know the wave well. I’m stoked to be going back there. Since this is my first CT event, I’m looking forward to learning a lot, seeing how everyone at that level goes about it, and getting as much experience as I can.”

As Meydi has surfed at the Surf Abu Dhabi wave park before, which will certainly improve his chances against the world’s best, his electrifying style of surfing will no doubt turn heads and show off his wealth of talent, and he’s predicted to make a great showing at the event.  He will be up against Italo Ferreira (BRA) and Joel Vaughan (AUS) in Heat 6.

 

The Surf Abu Dhabi Pro will be held from February 14 -16, and will be broadcast LIVE on WorldSurfLeague.com, and the free WSL App, so everyone can tune in and cheer for Meydi and fellow Indonesian WCT competitor Rio Waida to make it into the Finals.
