2010 Padang Cup, It's still 'On When it's On' for Rip Curl Cup at Padang Padang

August 28th, 2010. Padang Padang, Bali -- After 35 days of waiting for the perfect swell to hit Padang Padang, the holding period for the 2010 Rip Curl Cup Invitational, presented by Power Balance, has drawn to a close. Even with an unprecedented five-week waiting period during prime swell season (July 25 - Aug. 29), the waves at Padang Padang never reached the world-class caliber required to hold the Ultimate Tuberiding Contest. Contest directors had been monitoring a moderate swell brewing in the southern Indian Ocean, scheduled to hit Bali on Sept. 1, but have now determined that the swell is not big enough to warrant extending the waiting period.
