The Volcom Pipe Pro Remains One Of The Best Contests To Watch

We will be watching.

The Volcom Pipeline Pro is always the best contest to kick off the New Year. The 3-star $75,000 WQS event brings together some the best Pipe specialists in the world along with local chargers and of course, Kelly Slater and John John Florence. You don’t need a valium to sit through the commentary, it’s always fast and loose. How surfing should be.

The waiting period opened yesterday and despite a few days of side shore Kona winds, the next couple of weeks should see a major increase in swell. We can’t wait to see some classic Pipe. Watch the webcast here.

Remember when Kelly won in 2016? Watch it below:
