Hey I thought I had better post up these photos we took down at the 2022 RipCurl Padang Padang Cup Opening Ceremony on the eve of the waiting period for the main event.
BTW the Main Event has been running this morning and all the preliminary heats have been run. The contest is now on hold until 4PM this afternoon while they wait for tide to run out amd the coral reef to start baring it’s teeth for the 2 semi finals then the final.

But back to the Opening Ceremony it really is a big part of this contest and has always been well worth the effort of getting down to Padang Padang beach. Even the Governor of Bali turned up this year, the crew at baliwaves.com has never missed a single one since the very beginning. So if your in Bali next year make sure you turn up for the OC you will be stoked.
Anyway check out this photo gallery while we wait for Ketut’s video.

First time you had a post without showing one person on a wave. Looks like a nice day to bless the start of the event.
