In absolutely pumping 6 foot plus Padang Padang, Rahtu Suargita carved his way to victory for a place in this year’s Rip Curl Cup at the end of last week, while other local standouts like Mustofa Jeksen, Koki Hendrawan and Koko Mitsua pulled into some of the best barrels the famed Balinese left-hander has offered all season.

With the trails a wrap, the main event whose waiting period now runs 5th July to 17th August is all set to see 12 of the world’s best and 12 of Indonesia’s best tuberiders take on Bali’s most spectacular wave in a one-day barrel extravaganza.
