Classic Pipeline for Volcom pro

Wave face heights of over 20 feet marched in at daybreak, yesterday on Oahu's North Shore and continued to reel off with machine-like consistency throughout the day, offering the full Pipeline experience from perfect 10-point tube rides to injuries and shattered surfboards.

A $120,000 5-star event of the ASP World Qualifying Series, the Volcom Pipeline Pro is open to the world's best surfers along with locals and legends of Pipe. Check out yesterdays coverage below:



The call for the next heats will be made today -Friday 29th

Surf too big to hold Volcom Pipeline Pro!

Another giant swell of 15-20-feet (wave face heights exceeding 30 feet) cleaned out the North Shore of Oahu yesterday, too big to be rideable at the Volcom Pipeline Pro. But the stars are aligning at Pipe and today is shaping up to produce a dramatic opening day of competition.



Winds are expected to clock back around to traditional trades, the swell is forecast to drop to around 10-12 feet, and the ocean is sweeping the break clean of accumulated sand today, revealing a perfect surfing stage. Today's swell is expected to peak in the afternoon, then slowly diminish through tomorrow and Friday before another giant swell marches in late Saturday.
