 Rip
Curl Indonesia is proud to announce its support and sponsorship
for the pioneering Indonesian Surfing Championship in Rip
Curl Cup 2004, which will be held at world-class surf break
Padang-Padang in Bali during the waiting period of July
16-31.
This is a contest you don¹t want to miss!
Set at Bali’s most hollow and dangerously tubing left-hander,
Padang-Padang, which has been rated Bali’s best wave
and one of 10 best waves in the world, Rip Curl Cup is sure
to be a highlight of the Indonesian Championship.
Current Indonesian surf leader Pepen Hendrix says, “I’m
stoked to surf perfect Padang with only four other surfers
in a heat. It will be a challenge but I’m keen to
win it and maintain my lead for the Indonesian Championship”.
For the spectators, great performances will be put on
by the circuit’s best surfers in the beautiful scenery
of a white-sandy beach embedded in dramatic limestone
cliffs.
To guarantee a contest where the Padang-Padang reef break
will be pumping with waves and giving competitors and
crowd its absolute best, a two-week waiting period has
been scheduled.
The exact date of the one-day event Rip Curl Cup will
be notified a few days in advance when a favourable (huge!!!)
swell has been forecasted.
“It’s the most difficult contest to run,
because Padang-Padang is such a fickle wave. With a two
week waiting period Padang should turn on and show the
world Bali’s best wave ridden by its best surfers,”
said Rip Curl Indonesia ad/promo manager Jasmine optimistically.
The Rip Curl Cup is a 4-star rated contest open to all
nationalities, but restricted to 32 surfers that will
be selected based on surfing ability and previous contest
records. Four wildcards will be allocated by Rip Curl.
Total prize money. Rp 16,6 million.
Entry forms available at Rip Curl Kuta Square, Bali.
Registration closes on July 7.
