Pipeline Surfing Shot with a drone and a gopro

When I was stationed temporarily at K bay me and some of the guys would travel to pipe often and boogie board it. Never tried surfing it. In all my short yes I've only surfed twice and both times at Waimea on long boards in 3 footers. Boogie boarding pipe we averaged 4 to 5 footers but had our best times in 10 footers. Anything over that we would come in and watch the locals tear shit up on their surf boards. I hate Hawaii except for its beaches and surf. I remember the summer of 97 while I was there the north shore got pounded with 40' swells. No one was out except the pros who traveled just for it. Jetski tow ins and all. Balls of steel!!

People that think Hawaii is such a wonderful place haven't stayed there long enough.
I always thought it funny that aloha means hello and goodbye. Like, "hello, leave your money, OK, goodbye", all in one greeding.

Hawaii sucks imo. My wife talks about wanting to go but I stop that nonsense real quick. It's just to dawn expensive out there and for the price there are 100's of better places to go on vacation. No way I'd voluntarily move there.

X2. I had to work the Hawaii office for KPMG for 6 months and would fly hone every other weekend. 10 years later and I still don't want to go back for a vacation.

never boarded anything that big or outside norcal, but that is pretty awesome stuff! you can get seriously pounded in 6' surf! it doesnt even take those 15-20 footers to ruin your day and especially when you have reef bottoms like that type stuff.... we always had sand bottoms and I ate some sand quite a few times getting pummeled in the surf.... but when you ride a wave out its length - what a thrill!!!

Nothing scares you more than a close call in the ocean on an overhead day. Going out without a leash is a bad, bad idea.
