Padang Padang Cup Trials

Mon 1 July 12:00am

Padang Padang pumped at 4-5 feet all day as 16 Balinese surfers fought out the trials of the Padang Padang Cup. Bukit locals such as Blacky, Manik, Agus Dag Dag, Cockie, Loyo, Teko and Koko - who collectively have the best names of any surf community in the world - took apart the groomed, long period swell with Rahtu finishing first and Alik second. Each now gets a starting place in the main event.

Oakley Pro Bali - Round One, Airs

Mick Curley
Wed 19 June 12:00am

It was always gonna be the way: when the trades blew from behind the wave at Keramas the pros would use the wind to punt, and punt often. All the better when the wind stayed light as it did most of yesterday.

So here they are, all the best airs from Round One at Keramas (with one notable omission), check the variations and mix of grabs.

...and when the wind wasn't blowing over the back of Keramas (see this gallery of airs for when it was) the pros were drifting fins or keeping their rails firmly engaged.

Oakley Pro Bali - Round Two

Day 2 of the Oakley Pro Bali ran in pumping 4-6ft surf at Keramas. Early glassy conditions gave way to a light onshore in the afternoon, but this just opened up the floor for more maneuvers above the lip. Here's a great selection of shots from Mick Curley.
