  1. Depends on what you call fun.  If you like to punt airs, then reach for the sky.  If you want one of the heaviest waves, with plenty of history, and hollow tubes, then Pipe is the way to go.

    But it's definitely harder to surf Pipeline.  You can practice everyday at a local break, find perfect ramps, eventually learn an alley-oop or two, and progress to flips, and more.

    Pipe... it can take you hours to even catch a wave.  You're not taking waves, you're given waves.  If you pull out, or bail, you'll probably never get a wave again.  You have to earn the respect of the crew out there, and even then you'll still be getting **** for being out there.  Don't think just because you're the best surfer at home, that it means anything out there at Pipe.


  2. The 5th answer is correct.

    I am an old time seasonal pipe rider. And it is very dangerous there.

  3. Surfing pipeline is way harder!!! It's a big risk to take. Even though it can be fun, it is also kinda nerve wrecking cause your nervous cause you can die a lot easier.  But getting air is awesome. You feel free and it feels like a roller coaster!

  4. i bet u would answer that with great EASE

  5. the pipe is harder, u can get killed on the pipe, and more fun. the worst thing that could happen on aerials is a back flop

  6. pipline because you have to make the drop...in surfing the hardest part is getting to your feet..once there everything else is just you imagination to wat you want to do

  7. surfing pipe.  anyone can surf a lot at their local crappy wave spot and learn to boost an air or two.  but charging pipe is a whole 'nother level which takes skill and bravado.
