Like the song says!
@paulson.randall “I don’t just talk I do it” surfers spend decades at pipeline in search of waves like these! The list of Pipeline gladiators who have ridden over 10 waves like these would be a short list

@mikestewart! This is my list of goofy footers that in my opinion have earned there stripes getting more than a dozen waves from way out the back where the second reef detonators appear next to the boils a few hundred yards out from the OTW access! It’s one thing to find that wave it’s another thing to draw that classic line as u navigate through the most dangerous zone approaching the first reef to ultimately get deep in that 12 foot slab of death and get spit out into the channel! The funny thing a ironic thing in my humble opinion is that you could name the top 10 pipe surfers of the last 20 years and maybe just maybe 1 or 2 of them have actually ridden a wave like these waves that the OGs like
@roryrussellbolt @gerrylopezsurfboards would describe as the iconic pipeline ride!
So food for thought to all surfers who surf pipe! Only OGs like guys put in the time and focused hard all in balls deep and successfully managed to complete the true iconic ride at the
“Banzai Pipeline”
