After working their way through a field of 24 surfers, Rahtu Suargita, Mustofa Jeksen, Koki Hendrawan and Koko Mitsua had 40 pumping minutes to battle it out for the two wildcard spots into the prestigious Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang Cup. The Rip Curl Cup will see 12 of the world’s best and 12 of Indonesia’s best tuberiders take on Bali’s most spectacular wave in a one-day barrel extravaganza.

When the horn sounded it was Rahtu Suargita claiming his second Indonesian Rip Curl Cup wildcard and Koki Hendrawan the Bukit local wildcard into the 2014 Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang.

A few of them had crabby sort of styles, not the casual, effortless style we attribute to the Balos. Plus the claiming, if they were Brazilians they'd be getting ridiculed, but they're not so they don't.

Looked feeble little whimpy surfer's without any power, exactly what Uppity was talking about.
