What makes Pipeline unlike any other wave?

Pipeline is the most beautiful, scary, and makes all surfers bring out the best in themselves. And for me pushes me out of my comfort zone no matter if it’s 2 ft or 10ft

Who is the greatest Pipeline surfer of all time?

Derek Ho

Who is the best surfer at Pipeline right now?

John John Florence

What would a Vans Pipe Masters title mean to you?

A Vans Pipe Masters title would mean the world to me. Pipeline is a wave that I will always be humbled by and to have such a prestigious title would be the best feeling in the world!

Is there an advantage to being a goofy or regular footer at Pipeline?

No I don’t think there is much or an advantage. I think regular or goofy you just have to send it!

We want you to remix an old classic. What turn do you best think suits the wave? Feel free to get creative in your thinking.

For me personally I think that at pipe it would be big backside carves. But for Backdoor ad a regular footer if you get spit out of barrel on the right and follow up with a layback or an air that would be the best!

If you had Pipeline with 3 others, who would you prefer? (family not included)
