Aloha,
The culmination of 336 hours captured in 1/640th of a second. Jamie O'Brien took his second Monster Energy title on Friday afternoon in what some would call testing conditions. But when Pipeline is your back garden, you look at it as nothing new nothing old, just a chance to add a page to the accolades.
I should have learn't many moons ago not to talk things up, because it normally ends in a deflated ego. I said I would be making you Pavlov with images from the water, well, I apologise for the lack thereof. I do however have a good excuse.
I was fully kitted and ready to rumble by the start of the first heat, in fact before the first heat. I had the jetski tow me out. In the process of avoiding 5ft white wash the housing slammed me in the helmet dislodging something in the lens. So when it came time to shoot I had no focus abilities and thus retired to the shore. by the time I had the problem solved there were no worthy competitors of me hitting the water in gnarly conditions. I figured I would head back out for the final. Well . . the washing machine turned intoa tumble dryer and I proceeded to on look from the shore. Never the less the showdown was still splendiferous.
Watching a Pipe Master in his element is truly captivating.
We worked till the silly hours and then slept in the following morning. It was great.
This card covers Friday and Saturday because Friday was a long day.
