Banzai Pipeline At Its Big Brutal Best

Massive surf hits Banzai Pipeline on an epic day 12/13/14.
After the desired westerly swell changed to more northerly, this day grew even wilder with the strengthening cross shore trade winds.

Yeah man love your videos you do a great job of editing. I also love this angle instead of straight on to pipeline which is what we get 99.9% of the time. RLTW 3/75

So much force in those waves. And they just keep coming. You best be an excellent swimmer.🌊

When I paddle out at triple overhead Pipe, I just say ‘Hey everybody I’m Johnny from Florida. Please make way’ and they say “oh yes of course please sit right up front and make sure you get a good one. It’s a pleasure to have you visiting!” So much Aloha in the lineup it’s a beautiful thing…. 🌺🌊🏄🏻‍♂️💦⚡️😂🤣

Wow! You have to be a VERY strong swimmer to handle those sets, and get up FAST! Amazing courage and talent out there. Bravo guys! 💪💪💪 PS. Love the grooving music with the natural roar of the surf in the background. Perfect! ❤️

Stacked up hard!! Too much north so it wasn't really good, but it's always amazing to watch pipe when it's big !!! Lot of water moving!!!!

[solomonschneider]

Twisted big! Some unreal riding in that

[abpob]

It's like surfing on the freeway. Way too many surfers in one spot.

[mattbellina]

Is anyone old enough to remember a movie called the North Shore.?
About a young Arizona kid who wins a wave pool contest to go surf the pipeline on the North Shore.
It's circa 1985-8.!!

High tide, nasty offshore. tough day at the office.

[ELIANSRU]

Can anyone explain how at least a dozen people don't die on days like these?

I've surfed some + overhead spots a couple times over extremely shallow reef spots and came out all red from the blood. Disastrous!

I've taken some scary hold downs as well on +10ft sandy breaks here and there as well.


... but this????


I really don't understand besides telling myself I wouldn't paddle out
but still...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND!?
