JAKARTA - The international surfing tournament, RIP CURL Cup Padang Padang, is being held again after two years of vacuum due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, the event will be more interesting than before.

The tournament is scheduled to be held in August. The waiting period is from August 1 to August 31, 2022.

WSL Asia Pacific manager, Ty Sorati said, his party was very excited to welcome this year's Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang in Indonesia.

"This event is very unique because it only takes place at the moment of the best waves, which means we will see the perfect waves during the competition," said Ty as in a release received by VOI, Friday, July 22.

"We can't wait to see the world's best tuberiders as well as Indonesia grapple with the world's most mystical waves," he continued.

Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang this time not only involved eight of the world's best athletes, but also included eight representatives of Indonesia. This 16th event is also the first time to witness the first female surfer, Taina Angel Izquierdo.

She will participate in representing Indonesia as the only female competitor in the heat draw of this year's trials competition. "Since I was little, I have always come to witness and feel how special and magical this event is," said Taina Angel.

"Being the only Indonesian female surfer competing against some of my favorite surfers and not just at a regular surf spot, but at Padang Padang? Wow, what a dream come true," she added.
