The Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic is a bodysurfing competition held annually during the Winter season at the Banzai Pipeline on the North Shore of the island of Oahu in Hawaii. This competition is seen among the Body surfing world as the elite Bodysurfing tournament in the world today and is the only time that bodysurfers and paipo riders get to ride Pipeline completely alone The goals (and historical precedent) for the Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic are based on the original concept of the North Shore Expressive / Paipo bodysurfing event.
The Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic first ran February 1971 (which preceded the Pipe Masters, which ran December 1971). Therefore, the Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic was the first surfing event at Pipeline (Ehukai Beach Park) on the North Shore of Oahu. The Event was originally hosted by the Honolulu City Parks Department (to promote water safety and wave consciousness), as a multi-division bodysurfing, handboard and skegless paipo board competition open to bothmen and women. Eventually, the event was adopted by the North Shore Bodysurfing Club in Haleiwa, Hawaii.
Mike Stewart has won the event 13 times. winning his 13th title in 2011 Mark Cunningham who has won the title 6 times The Pipeline classic has had problems in the past with getting the go ahead as the permits to use pipeline exclusively is scarce to say the least so please go here and support the 2012 event to make sure this continuesas it has in previous years
