Paul Evans chats with Andy Higgins, former Rip Curl International Events Director about the competition many believe to be the greatest tour event ever held, the 2006 Rip Curl Search WCT 'Somewhere in Mexico'. Andy Irons won the event in perfect grinding righthand sand point surf at a venue only referred to in the media as 'La Jolla'. As for the surf, Slater gushed, “This place is better than the Gold Coast and better than Jeffrey's”. Higgo travelled to Mexico on a scouting mission in 2005, surfed the place for a week and was happy to report back at Rip Curl HQ that the venue was, in fact, very much good enough for the Championship Tour.
