Lexus Pipe Pro Day One Opening Round Results
The 2024 season of the World Surf League Championship Tour has kicked off at the historic Banzai Pipeline. After a couple of lay days, the event got the green light for Wednesday and the men hit the water ready to chase their first dreams. With a few CT rookies looking to prove what they could do, the veterans had their work cut out for them.
Open rounds and elimination round was held in 8-10 foot conditions. Some competitors had trouble getting going but those more familiar with Pipeline were able to get some big scores and sail into the round of 32. Here are the results from the first day of the Lexus Pipe Pro.
