Kailani Johnson has just made League history, nabbing the Wildcard for the Corona Bali Protected as the first Indonesian woman to compete in a Championship Tour event.
"This is a dream come true!" responded Kailani over email. "To say I look forward to surfing with the people I look up to at one of my favorite home-breaks is an understatement."
Coming off a ninth-place finish at the Krui Pro, Johnson was awarded the Wildcard as the highest-ranked Indonesian surfer competing in the 2019 Qualifying Series.
