As we await further instruction from the Wozzle about the COVID own goal, Pipeline keeps on putting out for locals.
This ten-minute clip vid from the Colapinto brothers features a host of heavy hitters ripping into perfect Pipe.
"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

For those of you whom the title is lost, here's a three-week ear worm. I refuse to suffer alone.
You're welcome!
Can you even imagine being in that band when the songwriter suggested you’d play that in front of an audience ?
How quickly can you say - “ This band is no longer taking the musical direction I thought it would when I signed up .“
Then you walk.
Then you kick yourself when the remaining band members make a million bucks each playing that happy , harmless dross whilst you’re back to waiting tables and auditioning for local tribute bands.
tin lids did a great rendition of this track also.
Haven't even clicked on the Walk The Dinosaur clip and the song's lodged in my head. So thanks for that Ben you utter, utter bastard,
err...
Love the longer length board styles at the start of the clip.
Old mate takes an insane air drop on his backhand mid clip..
SUP, at Pipeline!? Was is Erik Logan?
Was that Catweasels Yellow'Board Caught in the impact zone early in the clip ?
Carn Ben admit it, that's your favorite youtube clip and it had to be posted.
For me I was out in 2 seconds luckily dodging the ear worm.
Looks like Gath type helmets are the choice of half the crowd.
Felt for that guy trying to dodge the oncoming grader AKA SUP.
Stand up got detonated at 5:13... good to see lots of the crew wearing helmets.
Got to say this kind of raw footage and a few normal surfers in the mix makes it so much more like you're on the beach watching. Being able to see the positioning, the full takeoff and just hear the sound of the ocean instead of a soundtrack. More please.
Yep.......just when you think Pipeline at that size couldn't be much more chaotic.....a SUP sweeps into one and then promptly becomes an impact zone death weapon.
I imagine if that guy wasn't a respected local that he'd have been at the receiving end of some fairly choice words.

Does anyone know if koa is burning people like he said he would this season??
that was great to watch. what's the go with the colapinto brothers, are they starting up a production company?
or working on a youtube channel, haha same thing i suppose these days
Are they the same Bros that pumped out this song about their VLOG lifestyling?
haha. Nah, but for sure, Griiffin especially has been charging some crazy ones this year. Hope that song doesn't ruin your afternooon lucky-al :-P
sorry, i'm a bit slow - from their youtube channel:

come to think of it those young dudes are probably onto something - that was a million times more entertaining than your typical wsl vid.
3.40... nice.
Who is that?
damn, seeing all those hot kids crowding in without a care for life or limb and just charging the banzai pipeline makes me want to fling off my mask and walk down the street with a jaunty step, maybe even smile at a cute cashier on my way out the store with my bag of groceries, not even remembering what the letters covid stand for.
Great footage and surfing but that poor dude on the inside watching the SUP go over the falls in front of him at 5 min 12 sec mark. That would be terrifying!!
I'm sorry but WTF is a SUP doing paddling around at crowded pipe - he's a respected local so can get away with it?? Just wrong.
