Behind the scenes at Pipe Masters

Joel Parkinson #1

 

                 All most  everything that could be said about the Last Pipe Master already stated , I don't think I can say anything new that no one knows yet , but I can Tell about my experience watching the biggest surf event in the World . 

                 So let's start from the surfers , the only thing I can say is " unbelievable " , I am not talking about the champion Parko or Kelly Slater or Medina ...... I am talking about all of them , all the surfers in the contest are just amazing . Most of the time I sat on the stairs of Jamie O'brien's House next to the locals , and all the  waves ridden the comments were the same around me , " How do they make it  ?" the level of WCT surfers is  really impressive . In this super LATE post , you can check out some nice waves and some other interesting scenes around the event at Pipeline , Aloha .
