Is Indonesia Sitting On The Deadliest Crop Of Young Talent In The Game?

You won’t hear ’em coming. They’ll slip in quietly, barely noticeable at first. Maybe a name or two will flicker across the radar now and then. Maybe they’ll put in the work, climb the ranks, grab a spot on tour, snag a final here and there. Good for them. Hell, maybe someone will make a run at the top 10. But in the end, it’s all a bit of a gimmick, isn’t it? Nothing to be worried about. 

Ignorance will cripple you. The Indonesian storm’s rolling in, faster than you can blink, and if you’re not ready, you’ll be buried under it.

In the same vein as Wet Shoulder League or SnakeTales, this Indonesian crew’s bringing their own flavour to surfing’s travelling feeder-circuit with Indomoment. As their YouTube blurb puts it, we follow the boys as they “battle for World Tour spots, chasing waves and wins, while having a hell of a time along the way.”

This episode, the team hits Cloud 9 for the QS comp, and we’re served an eyeful of absurdly good surfing. While the boys all rip, there’s one young man who seems to mock the whole thing, effortlessly launching glitchy, video-game punts and sticking them with the kind of consistency you’d expect from an NPC in Skate 3.

Bronson Meydi’s time is coming, no doubt. And as for the rest of the crew, there’s a whole lot of Tenōre merch being flaunted. Can Pat do it again?
