The remaining two heats of Round 2 of the Oakley Pro Bali were completed on Thursday with clean three-to-five foot waves at Keramas
And in the fifth of ten events on the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour Indonesian Putra Hermawan was a late replacement for the injured Travis Logie.
Hermawan made the most of his opportunity, eliminating Californian Brett Simpson.
The natural-footer threaded a number of impressive barrels to secure the win - the first ASP WCT heat win in history for an Indonesian - and admitted that local knowledge played a part in his success.
Putra Hermawan "it was lucky I got the last barrel and yes, I surf every day at Keramas and I know the waves and what it's like."
He will face 11-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater in Round 3 of competition.
