As dry season in Indo continues to pump, Bali’s crown jewel is set to come alive today signaling the start of the Rip Curl Padang Padang Cup.
The invitational tube contest will run round one of proceedings as well as a super session featuring women, local and international icons. The rest of the comp will hopefully be run at some point during the remaining waiting period which ends on 31 August.

The event features a stacked lineup of international tube specialists and local Balinese chargers. Check out the full lineup below:
International men: Clay Marzo, Harry Bryant, Mikey February, Noa Deane, Joel Parkinson, Nic von Rupp, Mason Ho and Dane Henry.
International women: Laura Enever, Moana Jones Wong, Erin Brooks and Coco Ho.
Locals: Mega Semadhi, Mega Atana, Dylan Wilcoxen, Manik Rudita, Made ‘Bol’ Adi Putra, Tommy Sobri, Garut Widiarta, Bronson Meydi, Kailani Johnson, Jasmine Struder and Taina Izquierdo.
“We are excited to get the action underway. Due to the tides, we will only be able to run Round 1 of the Men’s competition. It’s going to be an afternoon to remember—pulsing Padang Padang and the best tube riders in the world. What more could you want,” said contest director Nick Chong.
While day one of competition is not due to be webcasted, forecasters involved in the event are tracking a progressing swell and finals day could be run on August 26 or 27 which will be broadcasted live.
