Spot Description
Pipeline, located on Oahu’s North Shore, is a surfer’s dream and a true icon in the world of wave riding. Known for its powerful, barreling waves that break over a shallow coral reef, Pipeline offers some of the most challenging and thrilling surf conditions on the planet. It’s a proving ground for professional surfers who seek to conquer its massive, perfect tubes. Each wave here is a spectacle, often creating hollow, cylindrical walls of water that form breathtaking barrels. However, Pipeline is not for the faint-hearted. The reef below is sharp and unforgiving, making wipeouts dangerous and sometimes life-threatening. Despite the risks, the allure of Pipeline draws surfers from across the globe. It is also the site of many prestigious surf competitions, including the Vans Triple Crown and the Billabong Pro Pipeline Masters, further cementing its legendary status.
