Volcom Pipe Pro: Day 1
Today marked day five of the 2013 Volcom Pipe Pro waiting period and after four straight "lei days," mother nature finally cooperated. The contest was called on in temperamental yet fun conditions with waves ranging from head high to more than double-overhead.
There was no shortage of excitement throughout the day's event which started out with the local trials, then the round of 112, into the thrilling Volcom Last Chance Qualifier heat, and finished off halfway through the round of 96. The day's competition saw epic tube rides, nasty wipeouts and some high scores, including Kawai Lindo's perfect 10 in the VLCQ.
