Lexus Pipe Pro: Caitlin Simmers and Barron Mamiya win in glory


With three meters coming in towards the beach, all lights were green for this final day of competition Pipeand great experts of such barrels Moana Jones or Kelly Slater it can only regret its absence.

Johanne Defay he was there, but he knew it would be difficult to deal with Molly Picklum, the perfect surfer from days gone by. In these extreme conditions, a few rare runners showed up to score big, others missed out completely and scored nothing. John Defay is one of the rarest ever to do half-steps. He is the first to go under the rim in his quarter-final. Must be willing to dare! But under his hood, Picklum he doesn’t seem to have any fear in his head. Twice he throws himself into the white beast and comes out after passing through the pipe. The French woman cannot fight back and starts the year with a respectable fifth place.

Amazing young beautiful players

From the beginning of the day, Bettylou Sakura Johnson and Cailin Boilers it’s two more surfers who come out daring and manage to go out and score 9 in their quarter final. Now we have 3 big favorites and they are only 18 or 21 years old. What an evolution… Not so long ago we screamed Hooos and Aaaaahs when we saw it. Kelly Slater Crush the competition with this kind of curves!

Half JohnsonPicklum it’s a small moment in history. The two players know that they have to give everything and will leave nothing behind. It’s a festival, a real demonstration! Sakura he gets the ball moving forward Molly achieve the impossible. Volunteering Pipe, grabs his reel and pulls as hard as he can to bring his board under the lip. It then disappears and reappears after the pipe blows. The wave is so good, the technique is perfect… This is the first 10 for a surfer in Pipe Pro! Phenomenal, and still Johnson almost grabbed the win with a last minute goal. 15.60 to 15.33 – Even though it’s only February, it’s hard to imagine seeing a better streak this year.

Of course there is still one series to go, and it still is Picklum which opens the finale with a hit of incredible length. An Australian knows how to do everything. But Boilers it has time and he also finds his way into the very oil pipe The back door. There will be no more strange barrels, and it is with two good turns that the American will win the victory.

Great Hawaiians at home

In the case of men, the important criterion is not youth but AOC. It is the hardy Hawaiians who take the lion’s share. Especially two products from North Shore, Barron Mamiya and John John Florence. In the last half add the total to 16 to eliminate Ian Gentiltime Hundreds it pushes up to about 19 crushes Connor O’Leary. The ending promises to be hot!

John Florence he gets off to a good start by going deep on his first wave The back doorthen find a good pipe Pipe. But just back, Barron it withdraws to hold on to the impossible ascent and only releases its reel once it emerges from the mass of water and foam that immediately swallows it up. It’s 10, and Florence he will not recover despite all his efforts left and right.

The 2024 season is launched as it should be, Boilers and Hundreds will be in yellow for Hurley Pro Sunset Beach which can start tomorrow.
