Were You A Wildcard In Our Very First Rip Curl Virtual Pro?
Yes, you read that right... you might have just competed in your very first surf comp and you didn't even know it.
Every time you surfed, we scored it. Making you a wildcard in the very first Rip Curl Virtual Pro presented by Tourism Fiji.
We tracked every surf and analysed your data from your Rip Curl SearchGPS watch and scored you in real-time.
The scoring criteria was based on 2 key metrics: wave length and wave speed. Bonus points were allocated for surfing a new location
and cadence (a wave every 4 minutes).
