Stick a finger down your throat and barf right now ’cause this vid is SICK! Slater manhandling 10-foot thick “Soup Bowls.” Andy and Bruce pumping your veins up withdanger-shred ballet.

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.

Here’s the Pitch: Let’s not fight the conventional surf video format, but embrace it — combining the world’s best surfers and the world’s best spots with tough, driving tunes. Hollywood Connection: {{{Rocky}}} V: At first you’re thinking, “Not another one!”, but somehow you find yourself sticking around to see how it all turns out. Best Actor: Shane Dorian. With so many good surfers — a certain 44 to be exact — it’s hard to claim one as the absolute best, but Dorian consistently pops up and out around the world, letting us know he’s still here and in championship form. Supporting Cast: Kelly, AI, Gavin, Cory, Bruce, Wardo, Occy, Taj, Joel, and Fanning. Score: Queens of the Stone Age, BT and the Roots, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Galactic, etc…

2009
Movie
The producers of A Fistful of Barrels and A Bowlful of Chile serve up another slice of 'Somewhere', and this time it's all Bagus! The ASP World Tour descends on Bali in search of Indonesian barrels, babes and Bintangs. In what was possibly the least mysterious event location in the short history of The Search campaign, Rip Curl opted to pay the boys of the Top 44 back for last year's Chilean hell-trip and hold this year's Somewhere event in the well-tracked, and in this case, well-oiled waters off of Bali. Far be it from us to be the spoilers, though. If you can't figure out where these perfectly groomed left-hand barrels are, do the legwork yourself and you'll reap the rewards. Relax and enjoy watching Kelly Slater completely dominate the rest of the Top 44, before bowing out and letting the young Turks have their day. The all-Hawaiian final featured Bruce Irons besting Freddy P to retire comfortably from the Tour in the knowledge that he's got what it takes to take home a win.
