Event History

search_trophey.jpg

The Rip Curl Pro Search was created in 2005, when the ASP & Rip Curl joined heads to create a first-of-its-kind Floating License to run an annual World Tournament that would move around the globe & introduce the world’s best surfers to many of the world’s best unknown waves...

 

The Rip Curl Pro Search is an exciting and innovative development for professional surfing. It’s about finding the best waves in the spirit of The Search, which in turn is all about discovery and freedom.

 

The Search never ends...

Australia’s Surf Life magazine has been the official partner for the Pro Search since the very first break rolled in over the treacherous reefs of St Leu, Reunion Island, back in 2005. Here we cast a glance over their own unique take on the past four years.
