Padang Awakes from her Slumber

A day late, a few feet short, and a difficult tide made the contest directors not run the main event. It’s a hard call to make. Sure the photos here make it look like it was pretty damn good. But hey, all these photos are from a 2 hour session in the morning and a 2 hour session in the afternoon. The rest of the day there were just a few boogie boarders out.

Also there was talk of another super swell next week. “The 8th is gonna be huge,” I heard one person say, while looking at his phone in the morning. So the call was made. Contest off. All the boys then grabbed their boards and some sets started rolling in. That made contest organizers call a trials heat and expression session for the afternoon, once the tide dropped out. They all caught some waves. I’m not sure of the scores and what not, no one really cares who won the trials. We just want to know when the main event will be on. That swell on the 8th? Not sure if it’s gonna do it. And right now I don’t think anyone can predict anything. The last swell was a hoax. Will this next one be??? Stay tuned to asia.ripcurl.com for more details on the next call.
