So I flew to O’ahu on Sunday in anticipation of the Billabong Pipeline Masters. Saturday the place was cooking and the TV announcers said there is a good chance for them to wrap the contest up, they buoys also showed somewhat the same swell over night. I got up at 5am drove to the airport, boarded a plane, flew to Honolulu, took a shuttle bus to the car rental and drove to Ehukai beach park. - The contest was OFF. What a bummer, but on behalf of the people who make the call, they were right Pipeline was not that good at all, but then on the other hand they ran the contest today and it was not much better than Sunday.
Anyway, enought of it already, the final between Taj Burrow and Kelly Slater was exciting and Taj scored the better waves. CONGRATULATIONS TAJ! Your airs rule!
I could have bootleged the whole thing from my TV, but that is lame and only loosers do that, there fore I you get to see who Pipeline looks like on a regualr day.
Enjoy my little contribution:

Picture of the day goes to Mick Fanning ASP World Champion 2009
What a day at Pipe today. The waves were at a nice 6 - 8 feet today and the conditions were more than good. The trade winds were very moderate to non existent. A great day for Mick Fanning to win his second ASP World Title. The contest did only to to the 3rd round today but there was only one man that could take the title from Fanning and that was Joel Parkinson.
It was a nail biting situation Parkinson was behind in his heat and needed a 6.63 to advance, Fanning was alreday paddling out for his 4th round heat. The heat for Joel Parkinson was almost over as the set approached only 30 seconds before the horn he paddled for the wave but got lip launched by the closeout. That was the moment Mick Fanning realized he just became ASP World Champion. What a moment.
I also have a great video form the the Billabong Maui Pro 2009 where Stephanie Gilmore cleaned up for the 2nd time. The professional surfing world seems to be in the hands of the Aussies for this year.
There is so much action going on right now I don’t even know where to start. Jaws had some of the best days in years, at the same time The Eddie was going on, and the girls Billabong Pro Maui was going on in perfect conditions at Honolua Bay.
On thing is for sure: I have colleted more and better video material this November/December than in all winter combined last year.
Local time - all the time
Mauirippers has been providing the Maui suring community with boardshorts for years, but not only surfers, also the lifeguards at Ho’okipa and Island wide are swearing by the quality of mauirippers boardshorts.

P.S. El Nino Saturday is coming!
Hawaii was under a high surf advisory and the conditions could not have been better for the final day of the Reef Hawaiian Pro 2009 in Hale’iwa. The worlds top surfer showed a great performance and some sick barrels were ridden was well. See for your self MikeJuckerHawaiiTV was live there to capture some legendary rides on camera.
Instead of showing a picture of today, we have a video with the highlights of this early winter season swells. October was a slow month, but early November made up for it.
Enjoy the action from the islands.
