Behind The Scenes Of The Vans Pipe Masters With Surfing’s Newest Sibling Trio

Introducing the Fierro sisters.

Top tier sibling surfer trios are nothing new. We’re all familiar with the Gudauskas brothers, the Wright siblings and, of course, the Florence brothers.

Now we’ve got the Fierro sisters — Vahine, Heimiti, and Kohai, from oldest to youngest.

The talented Tahitian trio have started a very endearing YouTube channel, which, rather than a full-tilt vlog, is more of a “you tag-along while we rip” channel.

Their first video is centered around Vahine’s journey to the Vans Pipe Masters, and provides a charming look behind the scenes of the inaugural event.

With Vahine nearing CT qualification — she ranked 10th on the CS last year — we’re definitely expecting to see more of these goofy-footed gals in the coming years.

Hopefully, the WSL will have some more lefts queued by the time they show up on tour.
