Hate to say it, but, yeah, we called it. The Volcom Pipe Pro continues to produce competition that makes you forget you’re watching competition — and just lose it watching the world’s best go hard at the world’s scariest wave. Making for the best kind of comp. Which includes Dave Wassel’s priceless one-of-a-kind commentary.

There were a ton of rad and surprising performances today, including San Clemente’s Griffin Colapinto, who backed back to back to back threaded doozies, a Bruce Irons Backdoor buzzer beater that will restore you faith in just about everything, and a ton of ridiculous pits by everyone from Kelly and Wardo to Koa Smith and Torrey Meister.

Credit where credit due: The Volcom Pipe Pro is a fucking rad comp and today delivered.
