 The Pipeline Masters competition; where surf history was made. There is Gerry s Era, and Gerry s Army, the Free Ride Generation and the birth of backside tube riding, Simon Anderson s spectacular three-fin Thruster debut. There is Michael Ho s broken wrist wonder, Tom Carroll and The Snap, Sunny Garcia s Three Knockdowns. There is the Rise and Rise of Kelly Slater and the Frontdoor/Backdoor domination of the Irons Bros. Year after year of outrageous rides, bone-crushing wipe-outs, nail-biting competition and the sort of drama that can only come when you pit the very best against the very worst: some of the most deadly, hairy, out-of-control waves ever seen. Pipeline Masters captures it all: the history, the action, the legends and lore-the soul-of the greatest surfing event ever.
