2022 Pipeline winner Moana Jones-Wong talked with Vans about the dangerous nature of the Billabong Pipeline wave. The 23-year-old jokingly said, “I would actually dream about it almost every night that I could serve pipe and then I would wake up and I’d be like, Oh it’s just a dream”.

The young surfer further shared, “The first time I surfed real pipe was when I was 18”. The Oahu resident then appreciated former world tour surfer, Rochelle Ballard for her surfing prompt in Blue Crush. “I never saw a woman drop in on the weight of pipe except for on a blue crush”, added Moana.
Clearly, the pipeline wave truly tests the moxie of the one who surfs it. And, surfers like Moana and Rochelle are great inspirations for many.
