The Ocean Current Pipeline Pro



2012, The supposed year that will see the earth and all its inhabitants evaporate into the atmosphere that surrounds them. But before this tragic ending to our lives we have so much to look forward too. For example, the most historic bodyboarding showdown on the face of our doomed earth. Yes you heard right, it is once again time for the Ocean Current Pipeline Pro, sanctioned by the IBA.
The conditions for the event are looking epic as the NW winds are forecast to blow, which is offshore, and the swell is peaking at 8 to 10ft. With the contest due to start in a few hours, 8Pm CAT, we are looking at conditions that support perfect, big, Pipline which is causing me to drool as I type this sentence!
Another huge factor to look at are the riders that have made the main event. Bodyboarding history was made when 12 year old, Tanner McDaniel, beat countless riders in the trials to be noted as the youngest rider to ever make the main event at Banzai Pipeline. Oh, and did i mention he has his own unique trick called the "Dragon Flip" which has been described as a cross between an "air-revo" and a "flip", Insane!
Pierre Louis Costes, Reining world champion, is also looking tip-top for this event, while Jeff Hubbard, who we know owns Pipeline, is going to stop at nothing to claim a back-to-back win at this event having placed 1st in 2011.
