Here's a little bit of last year's action and if you missed Jamie O'Brien's drop-in and double-up barrel ride with Rizal Tanjung you can catch it again.

Now in its seventh year, the Rip Curl Cup Invitational at Padang Padang is Indonesia’s longest-running surfing competition. The field of 32 will be split equally between 16 of Indo’s all-time Padang surfers and 16 of the world’s best tube slayers.

This invitational format, along with the allure of the wave at Padang and a 65 million rupiah prize purse, makes the Rip Curl Cup one of the most anticipated events of the year.

The contest looks like it will be great. And, in general, getting a sponsor for something like this, espec in Indo, is fantastic. But have to agree that powerbalance is a bs product, is not taken seriously and does not represent surfing or the surf industry in a positive light. No offense to MSW or the surfers.

If you look on the "Getting Shitfaced?" section of Power Balance website you'll see the positive benefits of their products for the less 'elite' amongst us. I can now get back from the pub without falling over.

No I havnt ed-msw. It's not the wave I am talking about..It is the media circus..and being sponsered by powerbalance shows how shit and laughable the comp is- and says alot about the target audience. Which i am not part of.

You're right, we should gather some the world's best surfers together to surf a one-off event at a ridiculous wave and not tell anyone about it. I mean the cheek of having a sponsor, just imagine it.

ahh yeh sorry I am making myself sound like a right arse. What I am trying to say really badly is powerbalance is a daft product. got nothing but love for the wave.

We've been tracking that storm ... it looked excellent for a while and has since directed its energy increasingly westwards.
