Today I went to Banzai Pipeline and shot the 2020 Volcom Pipe Pro. Today held round 1 and 2. I went and shot throughout round 1. We had building NW swell that brought sets in the 15-20ft range. It was MENTAL!! Winds were offshore which helped Pipeline come alive. Below are my shots from before the contest and round 1. Enjoy 🙂
