The Pipe Pro is an event in surfing held annually at Banzai Pipeline in Oahu, Hawaii. It was established in 1971 and has been sponsored by Yeti Coolers, who have a three year partnership in place, which began in 2023.[1]
The event attracts the top 34 surfers from The World Surf League (WSL) as well as 32 surfers who compete in walk-on trials. Until 2019, the event was the final leg of the Triple Crown of Surfing and the final event on the WSL Championship Tour.[2] Starting with the 2021 season (December 2020), the event is now the opening event of a 2020–21 competition season. In 2022, the event underwent major scheduling, naming, and invitation rules changes.[3][4]
