Rip Curl Cup 2007: Padang-Padang Finals Highlights
- 13 years ago
In very tricky and dangerous low tide afternoon conditions at Padang-Padang Beach in Bali, dark horse Kane “Dogbite” Faint (yellow) put his years of experience to work to pull into and fight his way out of a couple of throaty barrels that got him the win at the Rip Curl Cup.
Young Ketut “Mega” Yoga Semadhi (red) was pulling out all the stops in the 4-man final, dropping in and able to get super deep with his smaller physique, and even pulled off a massive floater on a solid 10-foot face. Bukit local Made Lapur was essentially surfing in his own backyard, making it look pretty automatic to just drop in and make a couple turns to get set up and then letting the lip cover him up. Wayan “Betet” Merta was having difficulty with waves selection in the final, but is always a threat and could have pulled off a big scoring maneuver at any time.
