Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters is on today

Advertiser Staff

The first day of competition in the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters was scheduled to be held today.

The event at Banzai Pipeline is the third jewel of the Vans Triple Crown competition.

Surf is running about 6 to 8 feet today.

For updates, call 596-7873 or see triplecrownofsurfing.com

The Pipeline Masters is the final event of the 2006 World Championship Tour, so many surfers need strong showings to secure their spots for the 2007 tour.

Of the 45 surfers on tour, only the top 27 at the end of the year will requalify for the 2007 tour.
