Pipe Dreams: Watch an All-Star Cast of Surfers Score Perfect Pipeline
It's been a good season for Pipeline.
Especially over the last few days, as a star-studded lineup of pros in town for the Lexus Pipe Pro scored all-time Pipe.
Eleven-time world champ Kelly Slater tested out his new hip and proved that he's not slowing down with a mental barrel at Backdoor. In more raw footage, an all-star cast of surfers got perfect waves and broke boards at Pipe.

Surfers of Hawaii posted the video above and recapped the day, writing:
"PERFECT PIPELINE (4K Raw) Best Rides Of The Day
"Filmed on January 23, 2024 at Banzai Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu. The day started off cloudy but conditions were still glassy.
"Wave heights were in the 6-8ft range wind light off-shore winds. As the day went on, the swell filled in, we started seeing more 10ft sets. Championship Tour surfers are in Hawaii for the Lexus Pipe Pro.
"Watch as surfers like Gabriel Medina, Italo Ferreira, and more practice for the first stop of the WSL Championship Tour."
Press play above to watch a cast of pros rip, including Gabriel Medina, Makana Pang, Cole Houshmand, Kala Grace, Sheldon Pashion, Mason Ho, Griffin Colapinto, Kalani Chapman, Zeke Lau, and Balaram Stack.
One viewer was super psyched and likened the conditions to a monumental heat Slater spoke of recently, saying:
"Nice round of extended solid Pipe, reminds me of late January, early February of 2022 around the time when Kelly Slater won the Billabong Pipeline Masters, I haven't seen it this good since then. Mahalo for the nice high-quality video!"
