There are great waves and there are iconic waves.
And then there’s Pipeline.
It’s a proving ground that takes even the most elite surfers years to dial down, but we’ve got an all-time pro giving us a peek behind the curtain in Tour Take with 805 Authentico and Pipe-extraordinaire Lakey Peterson. Watch it in full below now, and then read on to learn more about Lakey, Pipeline, and our Tour Take series.
It’s certainly no secret that Oahu’s premier North Shore locale is beyond legendary. And there’s no doubt that this single slice of sand and the Pacific Ocean has captivated our collective consciousness for decades, and for good reasons. Every swell is an occasion and each wave that feathers off the second reef is still worthy of its own headline. But, there’s so much more to Pipeline than palm trees, white sand beaches, and idyllic surf.
Even after all these years surfing, studying, and appreciating it, there’s still plenty to learn from Pipe, and Tour Take is our insider look at both it and every other world-class setup from those who surf those waves best.
Last year, we took our own Conner Coffin around the North Shore and beyond for it all, and this year we’re stoked to have Lakey as our guide.
Lakey’s no stranger to Pipe’s imagination-defying barrels, elevator drops, and dreamy scenery, so we’re more than lucky to have her here giving us some pro tips. If there were a guide on tapping into one of the world’s greatest waves, consider this episode one of the newest season. Watch Lakey’s Pipeline Tour Take below now, and stay subscribed to our YouTube channel so you don’t miss another update from the North Shore, Lakey, 805 Beer, and more.
