Volume two in Surfline.com’s World Wide Waves book series The Pipeline will be rolled out at Billabong Headquarters in Irvine (click for map) on Saturday, November 8, 2008 with a special guest appearance by Gerry Lopez (and other Pipe Legends featured in the book).
Through 200 pages of captivating and timeless images from over 50 of the world’s best photographers, combined with words from surfing’s most renowned writers, “The Pipeline: The World’s Most Respected Wave” tells the stories from almost five decades of heart-stopping action: the first rides, the first contests, triumphs, deaths, localism, foreign invasion, performance revolution, with a special chapter by Surfline’s Sean Collins on how and why Pipeline is the wave that it is.
The only downside is that it’s a pretty spendy evening. It costs $35 just to get in, $100 includes a book, and $200 includes a limited edition of the book and some 2008 Pipeline Masters gear. Click the link to buy a ticket.
