The North Shore Lifeguard Association ran the Pipeline Bodysurfing Contest in average surf this year. As always, the competitors were stoked to get the wave to themselves if only for a little while. This year’s champion is Kalani Brown. Kalani defeated a final full of guys who have multiple final appearances including Todd Sells, Chris Baker and Kai Santos.
“I had a awesome time getting to compete in this years Pipeline Body Surfing Contest the North Shore Lifeguard Association put on. It was a real honor getting to bodysurf with such talented watermen at an empty 3-4 foot pipeline and backdoor. I’m still shocked that I was able to do as well as I did. I know how good all of the guys in the final are and didn’t think I stood a chance. I just want to thank everyone who works hard behind the scenes to put on an event like this one. Cant wait till next years contest!”
