Flynn shows strong form to reach semi-finals

Cowaramup’s Macklin Flynn has made a strong start to the 2025/26 WSL Qualifying Series, finishing fifth at the Krui Pro in South Sumatra, Indonesia.

Competing in clean six-to-eight-foot surf at the renowned reef break of Ujung Bocur, Flynn powered through the early rounds to reach the Semifinals of the QS 6,000 event, earning valuable points and solidifying his position at 4th on the current Australia Oceania regional rankings.

The Krui Pro served as the opening event of the Asia and Australia Oceania Regional QS, providing a critical opportunity for surfers to begin their campaigns toward Challenger Series qualification.

With long, high-performance waves on offer, the event rewarded technical skill, wave selection, and progressive surfing.

Fellow West Aussies Jack Thomas, Maverick Wilson, Olive Hardy and Isi Campbell also represented WA at the event, gaining valuable experience on the international stage.
