New swell and awesome waves !!

Surf was as good as it gets today on the North Shore.
Northwest 6 to 8 feet occasionally 10 feet with good conditions.
Bad weather and rain didn't stop an awesome day of surfing to start the
 third leg and final stop of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing:
the Xbox Gerry Lopez Pipeline Masters.

The 32 trialists hit the water to compete for two wild cards for the main event and the winners are:
1) Rob Machado/USA (2002 Pipemaster)

There is 50/50 chances the first day of the main event to go tomorrow,

when a high surf advisory new swell is arriving in the islands.
It is too much action !!!
 Don't miss it, come back everyday and have it all !!!
