There are a lot of people who spend the vast majority of their year just waiting for Pipeline. Sure, they fill their time traveling to other far-flung, perfect waves, but they just have Pipeline on the brain. So when it finally kicks into high gear (as it certainly has for the last little while), those people are excited, to say the least. And when they get excited, the only way to burn off that energy is to surf marathon sessions. “This is a full day of Pipeline,” Nathan Florence writes. “First session was five hours, second session four hours till dark. Rested one hour between and ate and acai bowl!”
Florence, a man who knows Pipeline, called this “the best day of the year so far.” A hefty call, but judging from the footage, the right call. There’s a lot to unpack in the video above, but what stands out above the rest is Jamie O’Brien’s insane wave. Scroll ahead to the 5:50 mark to have your mind blown.
