The Volcom Pipe Pro is an extra special event for the local Hawaiian
competitors, being that it is the only chance for non-World Tour surfers
to gain entry into the prestigious Pipe Masters. The top eight Hawaiian
competitors in the Volcom Pipe Pro will be rewarded wildcard entries
into the 2012 event, which is part of the Triple Crown series that wraps
up the year.
Last year, the 2011 Volcom Pipe Pro was the most viewed WQS webcast of
all time - held in three consecutive days of pumping Pipeline surf, with
local Hawaiian, 18-year-old John Florence taking the top spot against a
field of surfers almost twice his age.
