The North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii is the Alaska of surfing. ย Finally, they have helicopter footage to give a close glimpse of just what is going on out there on that wave. ย From this close up angle, you can really see how gnarly things are out there at Pipeline. ย Big boys only.
The shots with only one surfer out are of Kelly Slater the day he won the Pipeline Masters in December 2013. ย The shots with tons of guys out are of normal good, crowded days at Pipe.
This video was shot on a remote control helicopter with a camera on it.
Happy new year everyone!
Thought I would put together some of my aerial footage of 2013.
All shots were on the North Shore of Oahu, Pipeline.
More winter swells to come! –ย Eric Sterman
