Virgin Bravery At Pipeline Is Confidence We Commend!
Illuminating an unfamiliar name, Puerto Rico’s Rolando Montes.
The majority of surfers first sessions at Pipeline don’t involve waves as seen by Puerto Rico’s Rolando Montes above. The North Shore in winter is a testosterone driven mecca that attracts the world’s best to participate in unspoken, continuous competition–no freesurf goes unnoticed. Surfing, for most, has a unique complex of a desire to be left alone while simultaneously acknowledged. But, on the North Shore, it’s where names are penned following the X, skin is peeled from the reef and the occasional near-death experience is beamed online. A showing like Rolando’s here colours us impressed; we anticipate more of this 21-year old gent from the Caribbean in the future.
