^^^Big Island of Hawaii's Willy Petrovic boosting one of the bigger ones of the day Backdoor

^^^Kauai and Boogie Nation's Timmy Hamilton busting a sick ARS and winning the last heat of the day

^^^Kauai's Underground Superman Oshi Grady picked so many good waves and won 4 of his heats.

^^^Aussie Chris Wilson stood out with perfectly ridden waves like this one.

^^^Aussie Simon Ormerod got perfect waves and sunlight in his 1st heat

^^^Aussie Toby Player didn't get the big waves but he pretty much owned it out there with in and outs.

^^^Pipe Master Jamie O'Brien bodyboarding was all the buzz and he surfed well but did not advance. He said next year!

beautiful shots

[DannyBlack]

While we are waiting for new waves, here's some party pics from the Pipe kickoff Ben Player vid premier. Mahalo to Jordan and Dixie for taking the pictures! It was late when we started taking photos and most of the people that came had left so this is mostly some of the local crew with some good friends along with the Team MILF tourists that Rex was charging!

Wasn't thinking. I tend to sit kinda inside, and once in a while get flushed in by sets that swing wide or are bigger.

Hey, looks like it might be on for tomorrow. Frick. Buoy #1 is like 13 ft, 16 sec right now (midnight). That's kinda big.

[chuck white]

Thanks for keeping us updated. Excellent coverage.

^^^Skipper split his lip on the first wave but finished up and won his heat. Goes to Haleiwa and gets stitched up and back to Pipe in time for his next heat but was pretty much drained and didn't make it through. Much respect.

Hi everyone of the photogs,

I am working for the german waveriding association as kind of a journalist with the goal in mind to bring up bodyboarding and to work on a good coverage here in Germany. Pablo Prieto Serrano is german and I have been knowing him for some years now.
I would really appriciate it if I can getr some shoots of him or if anyone who has shots of him can hand them out. Concernig the copyright thing: If needed I would get the accredatation and formula needed from the federation.

thanks for helping

aloha

Kinda hard to follow up the quality shots posted by everyone on this thread, so I'll just add two of the new Pipe Champ...






Good seeing everyone! Thanks to Brandon and Danny for the liquid refreshments and HUGE thanks to Colin M. for letting me borrow a battery! I was just about to give up and leave when he saved the day.
