The Best Surfers In The World.

A Wave None Have Ever Surfed Before.

A Chilean Slab Fiesta!

From the producers of A Fistful of Barrels comes a new video featuring an entirely new wave. The small town of Arica, Chile hosts the ASP World Tour`s Top 44 at Ex Isla Alacrans during the Rip Curl Pro Search Chile. Following hot on the heels of last year`s epic sessions at the Mexican pointbreak known only as La Jolla, The Search extends its one-of-a-kind Floating License to South America, where the world`s best face-off with one of the most challenging waves to ever host a World Tour event.

What started out as a question mark became one of the greatest slab duels ever held, complete with heat-ending injuries and the spectacle of the world`s best dry-docked on the shallow Chilean reef, leaving some holding their bandaged heads and others simply shaking theirs at a wave compared to both Pipeline and Teahupo`o for it`s ferocity.

Defending champ Andy Irons swapped last year`s Mexican sombrero for a Chilean Alpaca when he sealed his second Rip Curl Pro Search victory, defeating Damian Hobgood in the finals.

A Bowlful of Chile serves up a heaping portion of thick lips and nasty pits as the Top 44 not only survive, but rip their way through two weeks of freesurf and contest heats in a flurry of barrels and bandages.
