Saturday December 7, snowboarders from all over the world threw down some of the most unreal snowboarding to be seen on a contest setup. Benny Milam (USA) turned out to be the most creative and technical rider at the 2019 Rock A Rail. The Grote Markt in The Hague was packed with people.
Katie Burrell is tired of working behind a desk. She ventures out for a day in the life, with mountain professionals to find her calling in the ski industry.
Pipeline Masters is the remarkable story of the groundbreaking surfing competition that has, since its inception in 1971, defined extreme. Held in the fearsome tubes of Hawaii’s Banzai Pipeline, the Masters stands alone as the sport’s most popular, prestigious competitive event. Because for over 35 years there has been only one surf contest where the winner earns more than money, more than fame or ratings point, but rather the surfing world’s most coveted title: Pipeline Master.
There’s Gerry’s Era, and Gerry’s Army, the Free Ride Generation and the birth of backside tube riding, Simon Anderson’s spectacular three-fin Thruster debut. There’s Michael Ho’s broken wrist wonder, Tom Carroll and The Snap, Sunny Garcia’s Three Knockdowns. There’s the Rise and Rise of Kelly Slater and the Frontdoor/Backdoor domination of the Irons Bros.
Year after year of outrageous rides, bone-crushing wipeouts, nail-biting competition and the sort of drama that can only come when you pit the very best against the very worst: some of the most deadly, hairy, out-of-control waves ever seen. Pipeline Masters captures it all: the history, the action, the legends and lore-the soul-of the greatest surfing event ever.
