Red Bull – Heli Surfs Up In Indonesia



1500 people took part in Red Bull Heli Surf in Kuta,
Indonesia on July 17, paddling as hard as they could to reach a buoy with the
top three winning a helicopter flight to G-Land with big wave surfer Ross
Clarke-Jones






The contestants head out into the water.



The surfers were clearly determined to get on the chopper
to G-Land…



The surfers had to paddle 350 metres to reach the buoy –
with 19-year-old Australian Mitch Kenyon getting there first.



The three fastest paddlers to the buoy – Mitch Kenyon,
Michael Schmid and Matt Rivers – pose with Ross Clarke-Jones before heading over


to G-Land in the helicopter.




The prize for the three fastest paddlers was the chance to
surf with Ross Clarke-Jones.





Matt Rivers was delighted to get the chance to surf at
G-Land: “That was my first time in a helicopter and my first time in G-land! I
had heard a lot about this place, that it had perfect barrels without being
crowded. I was very excited – thank you Red Bull!”
