For second year our company has been given an opportunity to guiding Team SUMSEL BABEL (Sumatera Selatan Bank) from Palembang Indonesia for Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge 2012. Our 2011 tournament was not very good for us because our boat having a technical problem. This year they are coming back to target at least a trophy to bring back to Indonesia. This year we doing some early preparation, practice session before the game.

Practice session
Before we going out to start our practice session, one of the skipper are told us to sign a petition for save our sailfish program. On 2011 alone they are around 100 metric tonne sailfish are being caught and sell to the fish market by traditional fisherman outside Kuala Rompin. This was a very sad news for us.
