The Vans Pipe Masters Invitee List

Those of you who like watching banzai barrels, airs over a notoriously flesh-grinding reef, and re-imagined contest formats must’ve tuned into the Pipe Masters Invite Show.

Over the last two weeks, Keala Kennely, Makua Rothman, and Nathan Fletcher unleashed a trove of historical Pipe knowledge and discussed the new format, rules, and prize purse of the 2022 Vans Pipe Masters. 

Episode 1 of the Vans Pipe Masters Invite Show showed the world which male CT surfers would be competing, as well as the entire 20-surfer female field.
