The Pipeline Masters is going off today with 8'-12' perfect waves.

Watch the LIVE webcast (and the quality is good).

These waves are no joke. Tahitian pro-surfer Malik Joyeux was killed last week in 8'. The lip of the wave came down on him and drove him into his board and the reef.

I can't even imagine riding waves these big & perfect. Yet. We've got a trip to Oahu planned for Feb. - I better get in training
