Great surfing from all involved, but can we give a little round of applause to the person who shot the drone footage. Crisp imagery, amazing perspectives, and none of the wooziness from fast changes in direction.
wonder how the new crop of CT surfers, some of whom have barely surfed Pipe would go against that field in that type of surf.

Great clip, local guys, used to the power, more and more they seem able to "push through" a collapsed lip and make it. I suppose it's a combination of technique and never say die attitude.

Yep, been wondering the same of the Aussies FR. Looking forward to it to find out....hopefully more of the same conditions.
Speaking of Da Hui, a little insightful interview from Makua Rothman. Pretty heavy upbringing and amazing that he's become a surf champion despite a pretty rough start.

Emptyish pipe and Metallica. Riding and smallish boards by the looks.Enjoy different styles and casual approach to it all. Pipeline has given much. amped off that edit.

Fuckin tip top! Watched day 2 in entirety. Thoroughly enjoyed.
freeride76Monday, 10 Jan 2022 at 8:29pm
why did you think of the commentating?
I enjoyed it.
OHV500Tuesday, 11 Jan 2022 at 8:30am
Awesome commentating - just stoke for the guys in the water and no verbal diarrhea.
RobwilliamsTuesday, 11 Jan 2022 at 8:35am
stoked for surfing in general?
bluediamondTuesday, 11 Jan 2022 at 3:39pm
Freeride I agree, the commentary is epic. They talk of Hawaiian culture and explain Hawaiian words. Learnt heaps off them, and also good to have guys that are entrenched in the Hawaiian surf culture over there. These guys know how to run an event.
RemigogoWednesday, 12 Jan 2022 at 11:07pm
Amen.
CockeeMonday, 10 Jan 2022 at 8:34pm
Looks like the Florences are taking over the joint! Has any other family dominated a spot like them?
nextswellMonday, 10 Jan 2022 at 8:40pm
Yes cockee and it appears to be without evoking violence and overinflated ego to dominate. Just the best surfing and the most stoke.
nextswellMonday, 10 Jan 2022 at 8:36pm
Agree. An actual cultural link to the surfers and the break.

I wonder sometimes if Pipeline’s absolute top of the mountain status is more to do with it being so close to the beach and so very photogenic in photos.
bluediamondTuesday, 11 Jan 2022 at 3:10pm
Interesting thought. Had me thinking about it yesterday, and this is just an observation based on pics and vids.
I reckon overall, it probably is because of how close it is to the beach...so often it looks unruly and heaps of closeouts and some barrel, some don't....which doesn't seem like the greatest wave in the world...
. But then, when one of those triple A Pipe bombs come through, the ones that are airbrushed 12foot plus tubes like something you'd draw when you were at school... i don't think there's another wave in the world like it.

heavy, but if your dad wasnt a drug dealing violent gangsta from the mid west of usa, maybe the cops wouldnt have come to raid your house.
bluediamondThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 8:29am
Anyone see the girls heat at Pipe this morning?? Moana's perfect perfect pit. A bit of Lopezeque approach to her surfing. Stylish and always picks the best ones.
Anyone see Bethanys wave!!???? These girls are shattering that ceiling. Respect!
RoadkillThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 9:30am
100% a charger. Hamilton is pretty awesome. refuses the ski and paddles back out.
goofyfootThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 9:20am
I saw bethanys one and it really made me think how much of a lunatic she really is.
Pulled in to a psycho round one and then have to swim up to the surface with one arm.
Crazy
goofyfootThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 9:21am
Not to mention paddling in to it with one arm. Mucho respecto
bluediamondThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 1:54pm
Definitely goofy. I went to work after that heat and I felt like I'd watched nan/woman walk on the moon for the first time. That wave and moanas efforts can't be understated for the seismic leap forward in the women's approach to pipe. They were going waves Jamie obrien and koa rothman were having second thoughts on. Put me in the best mood. Bethany proving anything is possible in life.
RoadkillThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 9:31am
commentators are pretty patronsing to the girls tho
SproutThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 9:42am
What a swell today, non-stop, pumping.
Fuck those 2nd/3rd reef cleanup sets though!
freeride76Thursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 11:16am
John Florence live at 10 foot Pipe now.
CraigThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 11:38am
Keala has her leash attached to the back of her vest.
stunetThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 12:08pm
Jeez the Hawaii FC has some:
goofyfootThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 2:36pm
Didn’t Craigos call a poor season?? :-0
CraigThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 2:44pm
Has been generally poor, we've just entered an active phase. Lots of mid-period energy as well and not classic XL long period swells. But for a Nina you've be stoked with this!
goofyfootThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 2:52pm
Seems like pipe has had pumping days but yeah not Jaws or Waimea swells.
For a truly shitful run of swell you couldn’t beat good old Vic lately
CraigThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 3:00pm
No, though winds haven't been to bad, it's just the lack of swell eh?!
goofyfootThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 3:08pm
Swell and banks when there is swell
RoadkillThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 3:28pm
Who here has surfed pipe?
If I cruised over and paddled out, how much hassle would I get, would I get to paddle into a wave...or is it 100% fuck off kook that no one knows?
SproutThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 3:40pm
Just put on a Nathan Florence mask, paddle straight to pole position, drag 100 people behind you to the right spot, take the first wave that comes, get barrelled and leave. Watch the start of this lol.
goofyfootThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 4:05pm
Looks intense hey.
SproutThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 5:08pm
This gives a good idea too, including what the commentators as saying, good luck getting a good one!
Also, check out 6:03, ouch!
seaslugThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 8:01pm
Best bloody commentary I've heard in ages
poo-manThursday, 13 Jan 2022 at 6:41pm
I've had a few goes out there but only a bit over 6 foot. The local crew were just so dialed in that I'd only get scraps and sometimes one wave in 2 hours. Awesome to watch though
