Top Seeds Debut, Perfection And Spectacle Ensues at Volcom Pipe Pro

Top Seeds Debut, Perfection And Spectacle Ensues at Volcom Pipe Pro

Date: 2019-02-08

Top-seeded competitors made their long-awaited debuts and fireworks ensured at the World Surf League (WSL) men's Qualifying Series (QS) Volcom Pipe Pro 3,000-level event.

Clean, 4-to-6 foot, occasional plus NW swell (10-foot, plus wave faces) filled into Pipeline and Backdoor providing solid opportunity for some of the QS elite to showcase their talent.

It became the first barrel first of the event window and competitors showed absolute commitment, throwing themselves into Championship Tour (CT) veteran and Kauai, Hawaii's, Sebastian Zietz left fans and fellow competitors in awe with a solid Backdoor barrel that spat twice with him still riding through it to earn the event's first Perfect 10.

Zeitz comes into this event looking to garner some extra experience at the famed Pipeline, as well as earn some extra money after losing his major sponsor and the birth of his daughter coming in April, and did just that. It's still all fun for the seasoned veteran as he moves forward with his ambitions remaining high.

The 2018 Volcom Pipe Pro will run on the four biggest and best days of surf within the holding period, determined by contest officials, and will be broadcast LIVE via worldsurfleague.com, the WSL app and volcom.com/pipepro.

Tune into Spectrum SURF Channel for their live and replay television coverage of the 2018 Volcom Pipe Pro on digital channels 20 SD and 1020 HD across the state of Hawaii.

Fans can watch every minute of the Volcom Pipe Pro live and on-demand on Red Bull TV, available at redbull.tv or as a free downloadable app. For more information about the Volcom Pipe Pro, visit worldsurfleague.com and volcom.com.
