Coming Soon: The Volcom Pipe Pro 2014

And now, for a cherry atop the most swell-pummelled winter season Hawaii’s seen in quite a few years: The Volcom Pipe Pro. As evidenced in Fiji the last two years and at Pipe for plenty of years before that, Volcom really knows how to throw a party. Worth noting is that, after getting in a scuffle with Ricardo Dos Santos during a Chopes qualifier heat, and then scooping a suspension (and fine) til the end of 2013, Jamie O’Brien will be back and ruling Pipe, possibly on some sort of unconventional craft. Also, obviously, worth watching for will be Mr John John Florence, last year’s winner and a man who never misses an opportunity to surf Pipe with a condensed pack. And probably clocking scores like last year (9.30, 9.53, 9.73, and 9.97 in one day). Plus, the ever-welcome addition of Dave Wassell hopefully spitting unfiltered froth in the commentator’s booth. And of course, the Pipeline. Uh, what else do you need? You have your next webcast to lose sleep, sanity and money over. Now, place your bets and tell your bosses you feel a cold coming on. Live in four right here. You could also do worse than to knock that YouTube player into hi-def and kick back…
