Pipeline is one the more famous surf breaks in the world, and many professional contests are held there each year. Its waves are some of the most powerful on earth, generated by far distant North Pacific Ocean storms during the winter months (Sept-March). They are an incredible example of the ocean's mightiness. Native Hawaiians, surfers, and a lot of oriental people consider these magnificent waves to be a supreme example of power and manifested with the spirit of mother nature. To actually see these waves breaking along the shoreline is an awesome, humbling, and unforgettable experience. For best visual presentation it would look best in a 16x20 or 16x24 inch or larger frame.
This photo would
make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes this surf break, waves, the north shore, or surfing images of Hawaii.
They are popular reasonably priced decorations
for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
