The Vans Pipe Masters Heat Draw Is Decided

As of now, the forecast suggests 7ft@16 seconds of NW swell will be bashing the Hawaiian islands starting Monday, with predominant easterly trades sweeping the surface clean.

“We don’t really know what’s going to happen. It’s such a great opportunity and platform for the girls,” said Nate Fletcher. “I’d love to put the girls out in perfect Pipe and Backdoor conditions. That said, I also wouldn’t mind seeing girls paddle into the craziest, biggest, second-reef roll-in ever.”

Held at a pleasant estate across from Sunset Beach, the heat draw was defined by nervous laughter, lost bets, and some healthy competitive jeering. Surfers’ names were chosen at random from a bucket, allowing them to choose whichever heat they wanted (or whichever was available by the time they got up there.)

On the women’s side, best friends Zoe McDougall and Caity Simmers will split the peak with Moana Jones-Wong and emerging wrongfoot Chesney Guinotte, while Eli Olson, Nate Florence, Koa Rothman, and Ivan Florence will share a blockbuster heat to end the mens.
