After missing the season opening Mentawai event due to a knee injury, Raditya has not completely rehabbed the injury but was able to bounce back enough to compete at Cimaja and win in a knee brace with his trademark vicious backhand attack. "I'm not 100% and still feel some pain in my knee, and I didn't surf for over 2 weeks except for a five minute surf yesterday, and today I did a full day surf so I think I just got lucky. I did use a bit longer board and just waited for the big sets. I usually ride a 5'7 but this is a 5'10 Akaba board, the same one I won Scar Reef on," said a stoked Raditya just after winning the Final and Rp 10 million (about US$1,000).
