Watch: Pipe before the Masters

Stu Nettle (stunet)

In the days leading up till the Pipe Masters waiting period the North Shore was struck a by a flurry of swells which gave contestants a chance to warm up - if they could only wrangle one of the sets.

Appears they did, cos there's a greater percentage of CTers in this clip than most Pipe edits: Owen Wright makes an appearance, Ryan Callinan, Griffin Colapinto, Zeke Lau, and Seth Moniz, plus the usuals such as Jamie O, Takayuki Wakita, and Healey.

i loved the tight crop - so clear the intensity of pipeline; the will to take the drop when you can't figure out the consequences
