Jamie O’Brien knows Pipeline much better than most. He grew up there, after all, and like any kid who plays on the same playground day in and day out, he knows the ins and outs like the back of his hand. He’s surfed it on good days, bad days, small days, and big days. Every mood, every condition. So when Jamie O’Brien says it’s the “best day of the year,” he knows what he’s talking about. Which is exactly what he said about the day in the video you see above. “Best day of the year at Backdoor Pipeline,” he called it. And while we don’t know it as well as Jamie and the year is still young, it was an amazing day at the world’s most famous wave.
