2011 Volcom Pipe Pro Day One Action

Banzai Pipeline, Oahu, HAWAII - January 25,2011 -- Continuing a week straight of power-packing surf on Oahu's North Shore, the lineup for day one of the Volcom Pipe Pro consisted of severely stressed surfboards and wave-battered competitors ready to do it all again. By day's end, more than a dozen surfboards were interred into the Banzai surfboard graveyard and an unheard of Brazilian stole the show in his debut event. The Volcom Pipe Pro is a $120,000 5 star ASP rated event, held today in wave heights of up to 15 feet (wave face value).
