RIP CURL PRO SEARCH Arica, Chile. I am watching Dean Morrison beat Kelly Slater right now, but for some reason I can't help but wish that RipCurl had sent the boys back to Mexico. Good on ya Dingo!

Next Stop on the Men's ASP World Tour Arica, Chile

This short promo video from Rip Curl gives you a bit of location and background information regarding the wave the boys will be surfing in Arica, Chile. The boy's at aspworldtour.com are calling it the South America Pipe and have this to say about the mutant slab.

"The right looks to do it all in one heaving bowl but the left definitely offers those come from behind overlapping bowls that Andy, Kelly, Bruce and the Hobgoods absolutely revel in. The place looks pretty fun at 5-6’, but apparently things can turn a tad nasty beyond this comfort zone. It tends to break on the same ledge so one can imagine the arena shrinking, ala Waimea Bay, considerably on a day of consequence."
