We’re proud to announce Panasonic’s association with legendary surf brand, Rip Curl – and this once-in-a-lifetime surf adventure.
When the Rip Curl elite ‘Searcher’ crew got news through the grapevine of a remote Indonesian tidal river bore that would be turning out its best waves in 19 years – they knew they had to head over there to experience it for themselves. And when they came face-to-face with the legendary Seven Ghosts, they weren’t disappointed.
A 15-man crew, led by surfers Dean Brady, Bruno Santos, Tyler Larronde, Oney Anwar, and original Searcher Tom Curren, set out to ride some of the craziest and most unique waves on the planet.
Armed with Panasonic Lumix GH2 cameras, a team of world-renowned surf photographers and filmers got in amongst these freaks of nature and captured this incredible footage.
Check out the video from the Rip Curl Tip2Tip site for yourself here and “witness the greatest river bore tubes ever surfed.”
