Banzai Pipeline At Its Big Brutal Best

Спорт

Massive surf hits Banzai Pipeline on an epic day 12/13/14.
After the desired westerly swell changed to more northerly, this day grew even wilder with the strengthening cross shore trade winds.

    Yeah man love your videos you do a great job of editing. I also love this angle instead of straight on to pipeline which is what we get 99.9% of the time. RLTW 3/75

    @ambientexpanse how's it. I was born and raised in Hawaii in 1960. We had a beach house right at Ehukai Beach/Pipeline, so I grew up on the North Shore of Oahu and have been surfing since I was 5 years old. Pipeline is my favorite wave, and I'm really blessed to have grown up surfing it from the early to mid 70's on, back when it was just sugar cane fields everywhere out there. It was so uncrowded, we had it all to ourselves pretty much!!! Things have changed so much now and the crowds are crazy now, especially on the very best days each winter when Pipeline gets really good! You can see that there wasn't a big crowd out on this day, and that's because, although it looks pretty amazing, it really wasn't very good by Pipeline standards, not many makeable waves! Too much North it's my referring to the swell direction. If there's too much North in the swell, Pipeline closes out a lot or has a bad North section at the end of the wave. It makes it very dangerous too, especially at low tide . Pipeline is best on west/northwest swell direction. There are rare days, when it's straight west and big, and the normal take off spot changes and guys can catch big second reef waves way down outside of almost off the wall and it just is insane!! Pretty rare. But normally for Pipeline we prefer west/northwest swell direction!! The wave has so many moods, but when Pipeline is truly an 8 or 9 on a 10 scale day, it's one of the best waves in the world!!!! Aloha D.L.

I was wondering if you would give permission to use some of the sequences from this video. I would of course include all credits and any other relevant information you deemed appropriate. If you would like any further information, please let me know. In any case, congratulations on the video!
