The 2007 Rip Curl Pro Search in Arica was so special because it introduced to the world to El Gringo (aka the South American Pipeline) - a new A-frame peak with brutal, life-threatening barrels. El Gringo & the Search event it hosted will last forever in the minds of surfers & fans across the world, because of the barrels, the wipeouts & especially since Andy Irons was victorious
