Long Story Short: The 2023 Billabong Pro Pipeline

This one is for the lurkers — the people who snoop around in the (free) shadows of our site, unwilling to rip the Stab Premium band-aid off and plug in their credit card info.

We get it. We don’t blame you. Hell, we’re in the business of talking about surfing, we’re broke too.

In your honor, here’s a brief breakdown of what happened in the final day of the Billabong Pro Pipeline.

If you wan’t the in-depth scoop, you can read the full wrap here — but it’s gonna cost ya.

TLDR (Just found out this means: “Too Long Don’t Read”)

• Dying swell, waves degrade through the day
• Caio Ibelli proves he’s still the tour’s most overlooked Pipe competitor
• Joao Chianca out-grovels Toledo (!)
• Jack Robinson looked a bit like Bruce Irons, and Tyler Wright surfed better than she has in years
• Finals held in diabolical conditions, Robbo and Carissa Moore triumphant
