Iam 54,and surf since was 12. So, ive 42 years of surfing. Ive been all around the world, on the most "famous" spots in The surfing world. And i remember the first time, i seen Pipeline in Surfer magazine, with Gerry Lopez, Tom Carrol, Michael Ho, Mark fo, Shaun Thomson, all the Greatest, and thought to myself, "one Day i Must go there, and try those barrels". Only, 30 years later, i was able to go to Haway, and see for myself, all the legendar spots, like, Waimea, Sunset, Backdoor and of couse, Pipeline. And in that Day, Pipe was like 12,15 feet, total carnage. And in my mind, after 30 years of surfing, ( i always since i was 11,i enjoyed big waves, and along the years i Surfed, Some heavy spots, like 15,20 + feet waves, without fear, but always aware of what might happen, in those kind of waves), and there i was, with my board and my youngest daughter (10 at the time). After 2 hours watching the pros, and Not pros, getting hammered, i decide, with my daughter advice, try another Day. So i did it, and Lucky for me, the next Day, Pipe was like 5,6 feet... And i did it, i catched a decent amount of waves, but above all, my pride, was over the moon. I was able to ride Pipeline, after 30 years of Dreams. Big or Not, i was there, and Surfed Pipe. My baby, was crying, in The sand, and when i got to her, in tears she hugged me and said "Dad you did it, and i filmed it all". Never felt so realized and proud in my life. On my returning, to Portugal, and show the tapes to my friends, they were like "this is it... 6 feet pipe", WTF i can do that, any time anywhere... and this, and that, you know, Until my little Angel (Sofia), Stand up, i almost shouting, says, " but my father Surfed this waves in Pipeline, and you People dont know what its like, and never Will.... My self esteam, my belives, my all life, were exposed by my youngest daughter. As a Father and a Surfer, were the most Powerful words, i ever heard from someone, that its my baby, and resumes my life. Still surf, almost every Day, try to see my daughters, and my grandsons, and live a happy life. Ive have a big photo, of a wave taken in Pipeline, featuring me, on the main wall, of the livingroom. 5 or 20 feet, ive been there and Surfed Pipeline. Thanks God, my family and friends.
Afternoon's offshore, good swell, not much backwash. Still days I remember, despite it's allure it has a gnarly look. You never know until your looking down from top, better kick your feets to, better ya
Okay bruddah, I'm less than 2 minutes into this and the biggest burn job was whoever walked in front of your camera lens on Takita's wave . You know more to come 💪🏼
Thanks for all the great videos you've been giving us, kinda makes me feel part of all these amazibg days! Special thanks for all the bodyboarding action!
Just watched it through the second time, hope Kalani R did not need water patrol rescue. Still the worst beatings I've seen in the Alo po'i pu ka po'ina nalu
Braddah where the south shore povs???? Or even from the beach shots of south shore. You were the best south shore you tuber but this north shore has grown on you 😂
Have to say Kalani R got the worst beatings I've seen all winter on that inside. It looked below sea level when he got the crunch... Hope not one big crack medivac 🙏🏼🤙🏼
I don't have a foundation of knowledge on Pipeline, but this seems particularly epic these last couple weeks.

Mother nature is awesome!
Wakita is so rad,he even has a section of the reef named after hin
If I was to surf pipe i would sit exactly where wakita sits and get these huge roll ins
and the legend of the "excuse me!" wave is born...
Surely this must rate as one of the all time north shore seasons
Man, you guys are having all the fun...Jimmy

Okay bruddah, I'm less than 2 minutes into this and the biggest burn job was whoever walked in front of your camera lens on Takita's wave . You know more to come 💪🏼
And he's so nice about it too! "Excuse me, excuse me". I'd have a super soaker in the other hand to blast the tourists when they walk through the shot
