Surfing's Ultimate Spectacle At Hawaii's North Shore | No Contest

The most important unwritten law about Hawaii is
Aloha also means goodbye you know
Show respect
No sandals in the house
Give the Groms like some waves and stuff
Because their dads are probably watching on the beach
Respect your elders
Drive like a kid lived here
And be humble
I'd just throw the shotguns there
If you have your sandals in the house
I think that's worse to almost burn someone at five
So this is
I was going to say this is the no contest haircut
But technically he called it Pipe Masters
Mason
He's just fond of A-Round
He has a unique vibe
Ever since I've known him he's been like a crazy daredevil kid
He's always been the biggest character
Going over dry rocks with his surfboard
Leprechaun, chameleon of the surf world
It's really entertaining
Aloha vibe
I don't think you could have a bad surf
If you were surfing with Mason
It was weird because before when I was younger
My dad would always tell me like
Pipe's junk
When it'd be good
Yes! No Pipe, I'm not going to die today
I'm going to go do airs
Psyche
And he knew it
He'd seen how happy it made me
So he'd tell me no matter what
Like whether his pipe was bad or good
He'd be like
It's junk
And I'd be like
See ya!
There's a few good spots you can eat around here
After you surf
From Rockies
We decided to go
Towards the west
And we are
About to run into Pupukea Grill
That's about as far as I go
I go there about at least once a day
Six days a week
I'm into tents
Sometimes three times a week
Just the sweetest ladies in the world
The ladies just cook the food so good
The food trucks
Yeah I do it every now and then
You know
Desperado mode
I usually eat the food trucks
When it's like just a good day
Hello
Okay
Well glazed donuts
You know all through elementary
It was all about the glazed donuts
Once I hit intermediate school
I was somehow hitting these chocolate croissants
It was nothing but the danishes
Guava danish
Blueberry danish
We got three glazed donuts
And three sugar donuts
This is usually what I eat
Before and after every single session
The birds love me
Boom you start connecting with mother nature
Here like across the island
Your dad just got the meanest run at back door
There's a pipe and I'll just be like
And like fly it home
And have that weird little like
I'm pretty sure every North Shore kid
Would get that
Like this weird little feeling
If you're not out when it's firing
Like you're blown
But then again I'd watch all my friends
Some of my friends get hurt
On those days when I'd be running
They'd be getting hurt or this or that
Now they don't surf it you know anymore
They stop surfing after the accident
When we're younger
Hot has that unpredictability to it
Who knows what could happen
It's opaque
This time of year
All the eyes of surfing
Will be focusing here in Hawaii
It's a wave that can offer like
The wave of your life
Like a chopper or something
But it's so unpredictable also
Any good days at pipe
It's just like intensified
Like everyone wants to prove something
The pinnacle of scariness
The biggest rush hour traffic
With 12 foot walls of water
Breaking on top of you
For me almost dying
At the start of the year out here
I'd have to say
I honestly don't think any wave
Is scarier than pipe in the world
I'm yet to surf a wave that
Scares me as much as pipe does
As soon as I started
Riding those bigger waves you know
I realized like whoa
I actually like this
I love this
Oahu or Maui
I've been to Maui like a couple times
I haven't done that much island hopping
I love both of them yeah
You can leave in the morning
And be surfing by like 9am
It's like catching the bus
You know an hour into the airport
It's like 20 minutes or something to fly
Super easy to island hop
I'd say I kind of just go to Maui
Just to surf Jaws
Honolulu Bay looks fun
California you probably
Drive further places
Than it takes me to get to Jaws
For 10 years now
Starting when I was 16 years old
When the Jaws challenge got called on
Looking at the models
And the swell period
I was like okay
This is going to be the biggest event
We've ever had to paddle
This is a toe swell for Jaws
And in the morning when I
Rolled up on the jet ski
To see this place going off
Huge barrels
I was like okay
I'm ready
I've been thinking about this
All year long
I'm ready to go on a huge one
The moment they called off the contest
I was straight to the boat
Grabbed my toe board
Toe rope
And was trying to swing into
As many waves as possible
Nobody was out
The faces were clean
The barrels were huge
And I was able to
Sort of live a childhood dream
With riding
Some of the biggest waves of my life
As soon as you put on the leash
And get your big old paddle gun
It's a totally different dynamic
Because you're kind of
Playing a little bit more
Cat and mouse Russian roulette
You're sitting in the pit
And the fact is
If you're willing to paddle
Massive Jaws
You're going to get pounded
I rarely ever go out there
On a really good day
And not end up getting
Closed out on
Or caught inside
Because it's kind of
The nature of the beast
Honolua Bay is magical
I love a pretty Maui girl
She lives at Waikapoo
Honolua Bay is one of the most
Picturesque places in the world
And the waves are absolutely perfect
It's challenging
And powerful
And everything you can think of
And it was just lining up
So nicely the past couple days
It was awesome
Honolua is pretty incredible
I've never been here before
And it was like
Probably the best waves
I've ever surfed in the contest
I'd say Stephanie and Carissa
Are probably my favorite girls
To watch at Honolua Bay
They're pretty amazing
Sage!
Sage, look at that wave!
Oh!
And you're telling me
You don't want to surf?
That was really cool
It's crazy
I've never seen a swell
Like so hyped
I was like, oh my god
Is it going to be a hundred foot?
Like, it was absolutely perfect
And we had such amazing waves
So, but yeah
There was a lot of surfing
Sunset was going on
Jaws, and then this one
And it was really cool
A lot of surfing
Going around the world
It was rad
Woo!
Yes, let's go!
Carissa, from Heat 1
You know, she looks super on
And I know she's surfed here a lot
So, she has tons of experience out here
And this is a wave
That you want experience out at
And, yeah, the final
She was going loony
So it was really cool to watch
And I'm stoked for her
I just won the Beach Waver Valley Pro
Last event of our season
And just to have really fun waves
Was amazing
It was pumping
I think the soul was pumping
For two days straight
I don't think we could have asked
For better conditions
And just a better scenario
And, I mean, I'm ecstatic
To win the final event
And just finish my season off strong
It's been a little shaky
You know, this year
So, it just gives me some confidence
And I'm really happy
