PIPE was a Rizla the right side of doable at the day three of the Volcom Pipe Pro, locking competitors into an unenviable gladiatorial necessity of committing to get a score, die trying, or go home.Balaram Stack came to Hawaii looking to fulfill a childhood dream and gain experience at the world's most revered and feared surf spot. The 20-year-old New York pro surfing rookie ended-up walking away with a perfect 10.
Fifteen-to-20 foot Pipe doled out its fair share of injuries, snapped surfboard and bruised pride, and late in the afternoon, Puerto Rico's Dylan Graves and Maui's Dusty Payne also found perfect 10's and, like Balaram, scored a bonus $1,000 each.
The Volcom Pipe Pro is expected to wrap up later today and will be live
here. The
forecast is calling for a dropping swell but still plenty of punch in the overhead range.
