<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong>Anon Matsuoka</strong> (JPN) and <strong>Reef Heazlewood</strong> (AUS) have won the 2025 Krui Pro World Surf League (WSL) Qualifying Series (QS) 6,000 today in three-to-four foot surf at Ujung Bocur to wrap up a spectacular week of surfing. Competitors had to deal with choppy, wind-affected waves, but still managed to deliver massive performances on Finals Day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 2025 Krui Pro is the first stop of the Asia and Australia / Oceania Regional QS for 2025/26 and will help decide both regions’ Challenger Series representatives for next season. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Anon Matsuoka Wins Second Krui Pro Title</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In an incredible show of grit and determination, <strong>Anon Matsuoka</strong> (JPN) came from behind in a thrilling final to secure the win and earn her second Krui Pro title. Matsuoka was trailing behind an in-form <strong>Leilani McGonagle</strong> (CRI) who burst out the gates to take the lead. The 19-year-old goofy-foot held her composure, looking for the bigger set waves. With a smart competitive mindset and her experience from winning this event back in 2023, Matsuoka’s patience paid off. She swung for a bomb and with big, swooping carves and expertly navigating the foamy lip section she opened with a 7.00 (out of a possible 10). Using this momentum, she immediately backed it up with a solid single maneuver into a critical section, jumping from fourth to first and it was enough for the win.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Matsuoka got one over fellow Japanese surfer <strong>Mirai Ikeda</strong>, who won the Krui Pro Junior last week and has been on a tear all week long, posting huge scores in each round. <strong>Jahly Stokes</strong> (AUS) finished in third with Ikeda in fourth place. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Reef Heazlewood’s Aerial Antics Secures Career-Best Result</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Australia’s <strong>Reef Heazlewood</strong> left everything out there in the Final, opting to rely on his bag of aerial tricks. Heazlewood found a section to launch into the air on almost every wave, as he kept increasing his score. The goofy-foot launched into one of the biggest straight airs, grabbing his toe-side rail for an excellent 9.00 and putting the rest of the field in a combination situation. He closed out the heat with another excellent 8.60 for a total of 17.60 (out of a possible 20). This was his first QS win since 2021, and career-best result scoring 6,000 points, giving him a great boost as he hunts down Challenger Series qualification for 2026.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Leilani McGonagle, Jarvis Earle Earn Runner-up Finish</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was an exhilarating Finals Day with massive performances across the board. <strong>Leilani McGonagle </strong>(CRI) was one of the in-form surfers, winning her heats in convincing fashion to book a spot in the Final. Her sharp forehand turns in the critical sections set her apart, but she was outsurfed by Matsuoka in the Final. McGonagle has enjoyed a great run of results this year and is on track to keep her Challenger Series qualification campaign alive.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perennial threat<strong> Jarvis Earle </strong>(AUS) dished up his textbook perfect surfing throughout Finals Day, getting excellent scores throughout the competition. Spurred on by Heazlewood in the Final, Earle opened his scoreboard with an excellent 8.67, opting for big opening turns and fast, sharp maneuvers into the lip. The defending Krui Pro winner and former World Junior Champion couldn’t match Heazlewood’s impressive air game, and had to settle for runner-up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The next stop will be the Nias Pro QS 6,000 at Lagundri Bay running from June 21 - 26, 2025.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 2025 Krui Pro QS 6,000 ran at Ujung Bocur from June 11 - 17, 2025.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For more information, please visit <a href="https://www.worldsurfleague.com/" target="_blank">WorldSurfLeague.com</a>.</div>
