If you win the pipe masters by doing the best airs, you aren't a pipe master unless you also got far and away best and deepest tube rides and made them. Tradition should count for something.

Def should not be called "Pipe Masters" - this is tarnishing one of the greatest contests in sports.

NO ####ING RESPECT ! PIPELINE + TUBES !!!

Pipeline and Backdoor are about barrels, period. You're gonna judge a guy who sits on the shoulder and does a massive air the same as someone disappearing and getting blown out by the spit? Thats a joke. Just because Vans owns the name "Pipe Masters" does not make this a real Pipe Masters. The top guys in the world aren't even in this contest.

You can do both, you know? Get a solid barrel into a ramp???

It’s crazy how this surfing social media platform can so politically change the style of classic pipe surfing to draw more attention. And the surfers in the event are listening 😂

The best airwave of costant and landing a rodeo flip to control the pace of a good solid trick!

Suuupppeeer awesomeness yeeeaaahhh!!!!!!!!

Mason Ho did a triple 1 inch chop hop for an additional .3 points!

this is a direct attack on the "how long can I spend in the barrel during this 3-hour session?" brigade

Did y’all not mention Makua and Keala by name in the description for a reason. They sat down with you, drop them by name so they can get the internet points they deserve.

Why are all the top surfers pulling out of this novelty contest ?

@samdoan2

Жыл бұрын

Because the format changed from big barrels to big airs. When the top surfers go to pipe they want a barrel not an air. Everyone hates the new format so they opt out

New format is a joke. They are trying to be too progressive with an iconic contest.

Good

Yeah johns alley oop was top notch for sure definitely burned into my hard drive

Correct me if I'm WRONG: this is a conceitual contest, with selected surfers only, no points(wsl)... but good money

Ouais ouais ouais on est bien saucé !!

it’s crazy. How do you?

Crosbey: was watching a clip of AI me: has technology gone that far that robots are getting barreled??

Would love to put a few of these surfers in a time machine and go back and blow people's minds, because I can't believe what I'm seeing

Check out Makua's childhood and you will understand. A decade is a lifetime of difference in age when you see what he went through as a kid. Respect.....

Surfing has always been scored by judging the most critical maneuvers in the most critical part of the wave. For Pipe, that is IN THE BARREL. The criteria change is a joke, designed to appeal to mass marketing. Half the CT arnt even competing in the new format.

Sorry guys, but Pipe is all about barrels, not airs. Peace

Thought this started today?

Yeah pinpoint what Nathan was saying about transition. Bigger faces that mimic a vert ramp are super sick with low impact like the equivalent of being able to slide out on your knees or save your knees and ankles for the long run like Tony hawk does

sucky change to a great comp

Nathan Fletcher is the man! But Vans is kinda lame for using a fly away as the cover for this event.

Narrator: it turns out, as we all expected, it isn’t

Subsection "The Swell" and he talks about the "new generation" and not the wave?

Nobody has ever taken off going backside and whipped a frontside alley OOP. Get what I'm saying. Not a backside reverse but a front side. Has anyone done that not taking the air? That's the next big thing. Surprised I haven't seen it attempted.

The Inclusive Woke Masters!

Pipeline the best air wave??? When you think of pipeline you think perfect heavy barrels… not airs.

Definitely not true

Real pipe masters is the Championship tour event in February. This event is a sick joke of people who can’t get barreled

'Pipe" masters... Does airs... WTF Vans?

fn weak

lost respect for the direction of this event..

sorry, but no, not an air wave... its a pipe wave...

This years Pipe Master won't actually be a master. Hate this new format.

This event sucked! This is not how you surf pipe

It’s the Woke masters…Pipe masters has always flourished on barrels and airs are not pipes. May as well have bodyboarders in the lineup

God, is there NOTHING sacred?

If you listen to surfers talk you will lose brain cells.

Yeah, that's why we watch Pipe, to see airs... WTF
