Gallery: An afternoon at the Pipeline

All photos by Tom Carey Pipeline turned on this afternoon. Those who have a voice in such things adore predicting big swells and contests finishing within the first three days of the waiting period and best-evers and all that kinda thing, but the swell forecast does look kinda jammed for the world title (and Triple Crown) decider. Here’s some of the action from this very p.m. as seen through the lens of Tom Carey. Bede Durbidge swings his tall-ass frame into a something nice. Carlos Goncalves, jazz hands and driving tail. Cory Lopez and a little foam hustle. Jadson Andre has had a stomper of a year. And here he is on a stomper of a wave. Kalani Chapman will take names in the trials tomorrow. You just wait. Mick Fanning is one of three men who could win the world title, which you’re absolutely sick of reading about, but still, he actually kills it at Pipe. See? Nat Young never says never. And keeps coming back for more. Nils Schweizer gets it well and truly done beneath a solid lip line. Parko, smart casual at Backdoor.
