Best of the Volcom Pipe Pro

Technically speaking, the Volcom Pipe Pro is a Qualifying Series (QS) contest worth 3,000 points for the winner, and is the second QS event of the season for the Hawaii/Tahiti Nui region. But in practice, the annual event is so much more: A chance for up-and-comers to rack up some qualifying points; a rare invitation to surf Pipe with only three other surfers; and, above all, a place for emerging talents to prove themselves on one of surfing's biggest stages.
