Jamie O Wins Backdoor Shootout

The best Pipeline riders in the world scored perfect 8-15 foot barrels on the first day of the event- a huge NW swell generated big open ocean swells that lunged into the reef creating second and third reef giant waves.


It was just another day in the office for the North Shore's own, Jamie O'Brien who came back from second place to win the title of CHAMP of Da Hui's Backdoor Shootout taking home $50,000! Jamie was pulling off some insane moves in Pipeline barrels that could easily fit a City Bus.


Jamie’s Backdoor Shootout title makes him the first person to ever win all 3 Pipe Events.
