2016 North Shore and Volcom Pipe Pro photo gallery

Another great winter on the North Shore. I was traveling with Joe Carter who put together an amazing edit of our trip. You can find it at the bottom of this page.

It was an El Nino winter and the waves were way bigger than anything we’d ever seen. Massive Waimea Bay, 3rd Reef Pipe breaking and days of pumping 2nd reef Pipe. Got to hang with all the Maine transplants, the Body Glove and Who is JOB crews and saw an epic contest at Pipe. Thanks again Oahu for all the aloha.

Waimea Bay

Sometimes you make the drop, sometimes you don’t. Marc Collins making it.

Hawaiian Water Patrol are the real legends out there. Must’ve seen them save over 20 lives over the 3 days the Bay was breaking.

Most go right, but there’s a few brave souls who go left.

Underground Chargers and Unknown Surfers

Randall Paulson with a stickerless board in the biggest Pipe barrel I saw the whole trip.

Lucas Godfrey is a North Shore kid, with no sponsors. He also was dominating the lineups filled with heavy pros, especially at Backdoor.

Another one of Lucas in one of his many Backdoor barrels.
