Until Thursday, Padang Padang
In view of the approaching swell of the year, the organizers of the Rip Curl Cup moved the restart four days later
Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang organizers put the brakes on the event's completion on Monday when they saw that a mega swell, possibly the one of the year, was on its way to Indonesia.
The eight semi-finalists were told that the next call would be at the peak of this surge, on Thursday.
Thus, what was initially a one-day event became a five-day event.
Rounds 1 and 2 were contested on Sunday afternoon. Western Australians Jack Robinson and Jacob Willcox were the standouts, scoring the highest scores of the day in both heats thanks to their class and nose for the tubes.
They also had to deal with moments of very low tide at the end of the day, which created a bit of tension in the line up.
The semi-finals were thus determined:
1: Jacob Willcox vs Bruno Santos vs Agus Setiawan vs Bol Adi Putra
2: Jack Robinson vs Mega Semadhi vs Josh Kerr vs I Made Widiarta
These were the results of the first two rounds:
