BRONSON MEYDI

Bronson Meydi was born in the Sumbawan village of Lakey Peak to an Aussie father and an Indonesian mother. While tradition suggests that Lakey Peak is a humble fishing town, it has been one of the surfing world's high-performance hot spots since the turn of the millennium. A short time later, Bronson landed and grew up in and around the world-class waves, watching some of the planet's best surfers ply their craft in front of a rotating flotilla of filmers and photographers.

Although he would never say it out loud, Bronson's surfing began to make plenty of noise over the past decade. It didn't take long for visiting surfers to start taking notice of the welterweight local lad mixing it up with the pros and putting on a show for their assorted camera crews.

Slowly but surely, sponsors came knocking and one day Indonesian surfing statesman Rizal Tandjung, whose son Varun is great friends with Bronson, offered to take the young gun under his wing in Bali and fast track his road to surfing success. Bronson's development since he island-hopped has been staggering: Bali is treating him superbly.
