The Rip Curl Cup “specialty event” has become one of the best tube riding invitationals on the planet. The holding period has the entire month of July. This makes for sweet cherry-picking of natures best barrels. The small band of tube frothing masters joins the respected Indonesian talent pool for one day of world-class tube riding at Bukit’s roundest left: the “Balinese Pipeline”, Padang Padang.
