Dillon Perillo, about to become uncomfortable, Pipeline

“When you run a Pipe come in January you are expecting the biggest, heaviest, nastiest Pipe possible,” says photog Ryan Miller from the shoreline of the Banzai Pipeline. “The viewers love that shit. Love the carnage. I think the wipeouts are more entertaining for the spectators than the high scoring rides. Dillon Perillo was gifted two 10 point opportunities and came up with 2.24 points, two wipeouts, a broken board and one bruised ego. For this wave he made the drop perfectly, set up the tube section perfectly and then his front foot slipped off the board. He ended up ass on the board spun around backwards looking up at the roof of the wave.” When she wants to, Pipe will chew you out good and proper. Reckon Dill feels used?
