O'Neill Freak of the Reef.

An ordinary name for a surf comp if you ask me, not helped by the fact that it doesn't really rhyme. Why not Chief of the Reef, I ask you. Hmmm...? Anyway, the O'Neill Freak of the Reef recently went down at Sumbawa's Scar Reef and Yo Yo's. 

Another technicality: they surfed on two reefs so it should actually be called the Freak of the Reefs. Plural.

At the conclusion of the ill-named festiviites Balinese surfer Raditya Rondi was crowned Freak of the singular Reef besting country man Pepen Hendrik.

Check the photos, the righthander is Yo Yo's and the left Scar. All photos by Tim Hain.
