TOM Curren leads latest Rip Curl Tip 2 Tip Search mission to the Seven Ghosts in Indonesia and into the first documented legit river bore barrels in history.The teaser for this video went mental, or 'viral' as people who know that's a good thing say. Hundreds of thousands watched it, waiting for this, the unabridged Bono a chocolate fantasy wave you can ride for the best part of an hour.
On Sunday, March 20, after a few test runs to figure out the initial Seven Ghosts tidal pulses, the crew moved into a prime location over the best sand banks on the river and prepared to whip each other into history. With cameras rolling from the skis, zodiacs and helicopter, Curren faded into a growing 6-foot (2m) left-hander, backdoored its folding lip and was spit out to the cheers of the 15-man Search crew intently watching nearby. It was undoubtedly the first legitimate river bore barrel to be made in history.
