Then the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing starts November 12th at Ali’i Beach Park in Hale’iwa with the Reef Hawaiian Pro, followed by the Vans World Cup of Surfing at Sunset Beach starting November 25th, and wrapping up the Triple Crown is the Billabong Pipe Masters at Pipeline of course, starting December 8th.

I wonder if they signed up for the 3 hour tour.

Many pro surfers have cut their teeth here at Hale’iwa, from Sunny Garcia and Johnny Boy Gomes, to current world champion Jon Jon Flores whose home break this was, living practically across the street growing up.
