Banzai Pipeline

Pipeline.

Banzai Pipeline (better known as Pipeline or Pipe) is a breakwater located in the Hawaiian district of Pūpūkea, on the island of Oahu.

Pipeline Beach is considered by the Travel Channel (owned by the Discovery Channel group) as one of the best beaches in the world [1]. It has been surfing officially since 1971 and, currently, is a fixed seat of one of the tests corresponding to the WSL Samsung Galaxy world tour. It is one of the surfer areas with the highest mortality rate, due to the immense waves and the dangerous reefs. Numerous photographers and surfers have died in this paradisiac place because of this wave. One of the cases was in 2005 when the 25 year old local surfer, Malik Joyeux, died when he was struck violently against the coral bottom. Enlaces externoa
