BALI homeboy Lee Wilson used his years of local knowledge to barrel his way to victory in the Rip Curl Cup. In an amazing display of strategic tube-riding prowess, Bali’s Lee Wilson used his years of local knowledge to barrel his way to victory in the Rip Curl Cup at Bali’s Banzai Pipeline over a field of the world’s best tube riding specialists, including runner up and previous Rip Curl Cup winner Made “Bol” Adi Putra, Australia’s Anthony Walsh, and first time finalist Mustofa Jeksen in a gripping 45 minute final.
It was a long wait for this swell with a couple of bridesmaid candidates resulting in amber calls and the trials going down in a solid swell marred by large tides. Padang doesn't just need the perfect swell, it really needs the goods to arrive on day of neap tides during the contest window. On the face of it a big ask, but this is Indo, and fortunately a serious low plotted its Great Circle course arriving right on the money.
