A Surf Champion visited the Phuket Governor to promote Thailand’s Surf series of events in Phuket.

The Phuket Boat Riders Club or PBRC informed Andaman News that
they and sponsor company Quiksilver brought Australian surf legend Jake
Paterson to visit Phuket and its Governor, in preparation for the
upcoming Thailand Surf Series (TSS) sponsored by Quiksilver, whose SE
Asia CEO Paul “Hutty” Hutson visited Phuket to inspect venues and tour
with the PBRC. Their whirl-wind two-day itinerary included meetings
with Phuket Governor Wichai Phraisa-ngop and Patong Deputy Mayor
Chairat Sukban. It was a great honor for Phuket surfers to share
quality time with pro surfing legend and world traveler Jake “the
Snake” Paterson, winner of such prestigious surfing events as the 1996
and 2002 WQS Tour, the 1998 Pipeline Masters, and one after the other
wins in 2000 and 2001 at Jeffrey’s Bay South Africa. The first-ever
Thailand Surf Series will be a progression of international surfing
competitions hosted on Phuket Island. 2009 competitions include the
Kalim Beach “Monsoon Riders” in June, the Kamala Beach “King of the
Jungle” in August, and the Kata Beach “Island Crown” in September.
