“Know how to swim, wear a suit that will stay on, kick like HELL and come out of the water smiling.” -Mark Cunningham
The fingertips lead and pressure is applied to the surface through the palm; like a hot knife through butter, the rest of the body follows in a magnificent physical phenomena of planing. While deemed a competition on paper, this term could not be further from the truth; merely an excuse for an underground crew to gather one day per year at the blissful Pipeline. Some would say they are whole group of weirdos, with tiny trunks and multicolored caps. But what I came discover is this community has dialed in one fundamental truth, how to have a good time.
