Rooting for Bethany charging surf like this is all the motivation I need to get back in the water. I can't imagine how much determination and faith it takes to just paddle into those beasts, especially with so much offshore pushing you back. Huge respect to Bethany and all the lady chargers.
It's tough to watch her take so many donuts, hard enough for those girls to get into the waves with two arms much less one. Some good ones ridden , too many waves got through and you know how many of the chargers are watching it just stick to their stomach that they're not able to be out there. Oh well, they have they're shot at the title just the same
all true. she def took a few on the head but outside of this contest, the girl has always seemed to rip a little harder than anyone around her! Pretty rad, and a good mother and role model for young women 🙏
Moana Jones Wong killed it! On a side note, I like the helmets, not that everyone has to wear them, personal choice, but when the best in the world do (JOB wearing it at Pipe) it normalizes safety equipment which is great. I ride horses and mine has saved me a few times in accidents. Cracked one through and didn’t even have a headache the next day.
A lot of people wouldn't of gotten back into the water after what happened to her ! But she goes out and charges the nasty old pipeline. On a pretty narly day. She has the heart of a lion. And the love of her sport is just amazing to see. I think she should have gotten a Award For Participating in the event She is a great role model for the younger generation. And to all of us. !!! To Bethany Family And friends Much Aloha and Merry Christmas.
Saw Bethany hit the lip in front of me while surfing her local spot bout 16 yrs ago post accident. I was then and now blown away by how well she surfed.
Not many women have the courage to surf in these conditions. Respect to Bethany for her standing up to Pipeline and the WSL for her beliefs. Kudos to Vans for providing her a spot. She's part of the old guard. Not many contests left for her.
Most male surfers don’t have the courage to surf Pipe. And considering how little opportunity women have had to surf here at all these ladies charged HARD.
Back in the 2000s there was a women's comp at Pipe that was 10ft+. The girls got absolutely destroyed and they didn't hold the event after that. I wish there was a footage, but i've never seen it.
I'm wondering if having the Olympics at teahupoo might be setting up a similar clobbering for some ladies from non-powerhouse countries. I hope it's solid
That’s because back then it was pretty much impossible for women to get waves in that crowd. They rarely ever even bothered trying. It was just too aggro.
Bethany won by meritocracy. She is even better than most men in contest. Whish they do a full doc on her and HOW she paddles, duck dive, takes off etc...its just beyond unreal ..cheers Bethany!.❤
@@OffDaLip you bet, she s been my inspiration to keep surfing at over 60 y.o now 68..feeling great still surfing overhead waves and watching her everytime just inspires me even more...please do that doc and sent her my best. I shared this yt and will keep sharing but a full doc d be best..cheers!
As current champion of the Palm Springs wave pool im heading to the North Shore anf gonna win tje Pipe Masters. Turtle said "when the wave break here..dont be there " that kinda wisdom will make mr dominate.
@OffDaLip HA ha. Turtle disappeared some years ago...was it a Tiger shark or Da Hui..? Personally speaking, I saw him snake the Bhodisafa during thr 50 year storm on a 50-foot wave at Bells Beach. Had no choice. FBI were waiting for him on the beach.
If Bethany had both arms she would be the queen of pipe. It’s amazing that she can do what she does with one arm. Charges as hard as anyone and paddles as hard as any of the girls with her handicap.
I’m astonished. I never watched much of women surfing, a lot of men surfing though. That girl Bethany, with one arm! I am not worthy!! She is wonderful!!
The thing about surfing as a sport is that the playing field is always different. You need the courage to send it even when all of your senses tell you not to. This is how you will make it as a pro surfer.
Jesus Christ, ya gotta root for Bethany just for her extreme effort, the fact she actually made it down one is unreal! The chicks were going for it, I'd be shocked but relieved if none got hurt.
All the ladies took poundings that day. I have seen pipe double to triple that size and I got wrecked on a 10 -12 ft backdoor pipe in the mid 80s and I'm still hurting from that train wreck. No helmets.
Is it just me or do most of the girls seem just a little slow to their feet compared to the men? Or do they just not have the same momentum into the wave as the men do? Something's up with the way most of them take-off that really hampers their entry.
They definitely seemed to have a deficit of paddle speed and power compared to the men. Most looked pretty sluggish in getting to their feet. Seemed like they didn't have enough power to get into the wave, so were standing at a point where they were just going to get flogged.
Exactly, it's pretty obvious, given the amount of failed take offs that women don't have enough paddling power to get into waves that jack up and go square like that, as for Bethany, it's almost suicidal, you gotta give her credit...
Pipes no joke and all these girls are great surfers. You get 20 minutes and need to get a couple sick tubes and this is what happens. Plus wasnt really good pipe. Shits not easy. Respect

Honestly, I was impressed by all the women. But Bethany was on another level
I used to root for her
@@lucianoluciano4632 Until she said that blokes in dresses shouldn't be allowed to compete with women?
@@lucianoluciano4632root?😂 thats having sex in Australia 😝
@@lucianoluciano4632Kelly slater should put some panties on and win the next 20 women’s WSL titles.
Cant even put into words the respect Bethany deserves.. Defying belief 🤯
Mind blowing watching her 🤙
So glad she made a wave in this video clip.. Charging
How gnarly is Bethany? What an inspiration
With kids!! Reppin hard for the surf mamas. What an inspiration!
She is indeed,

After seeing Mikey Redd's helmet after he smacked the reef at Pipe, yea I like them too. They do save lives 🤙
Cheers to the ladies. You’re an inspiration Bethany
Every person on this planet can take inspiration from her 🤙
Nobody tough as Bethany! The girls had better conditions and waves than the boyz! Incredible surfing and gnarly wipeouts! Ladies sent it!!!
Yea, the girls scored epic conditions in the morning. Thanks for watching 🤙
So so much respect for Bethany
And Im whining about tired surf shoulders in a 3/2 steamer.
Bethany is a force of nature 👍❤
Bethany is a prime example of "no excuses" 🤙
Surfed this break for Years!! Still dream about these waves. Nice to see these women going for it all!
Yea, there's nothing like stroking into a nice, glassy peak out there 🤙

She's amazing. I pretty much second everything you just said haha 🤙
@@OffDaLipexcellent at it. I really appreciate the constant action and no downtime. Earned a sub right there
What do you mean by ha ha.

Best comment ever. Bethany is by far a inspiration for All💜🤙🌊🦆💯🙏✝️

Bethany is a straight up bad ass. God bless you for charging and never making excuses.

Not many humans actually
Agreed. Hopefully we can see her out there again next month for the shootout 🤙

@@shacktime 💯
The determination and tenacity of Bethany Hamilton is incredible!!!
Goes to show that the rest of us have zero excuses 🤙
The queen lives! Congrats Moana!
she stepped it up
Bethany is inspiring 🙌
So impressive 🤙
Stunning, painful, inspirational.
The entire spectrum of emotions in one video lol 🤙
BH omg what a gem she is the feelings she creates within me are one of a kind !
Not even once in a generation surfer. Once in a millennium surfer 🤙
Back in the 2000s there was a women's comp at Pipe that was 10ft+. The girls got absolutely destroyed and they didn't hold the event after that. I wish there was a footage, but i've never seen it.
Yea, I don't even remember that. Never saw the footage. The girls are steadily raising the bar 🤙
Shit I remember that, was so heavy!!!
I'm wondering if having the Olympics at teahupoo might be setting up a similar clobbering for some ladies from non-powerhouse countries. I hope it's solid
@@Miles_Goodson_Bangs_Kids that place is too gnarly for women. A handful at best could handle that place.
That’s because back then it was pretty much impossible for women to get waves in that crowd. They rarely ever even bothered trying. It was just too aggro.
Amazing how far the girls have come. Absolutely charging. Thanks ODL 🤙
Yea, they wouldn't even surf this wave 20 years ago. Now they all charge 🤙
Bethany won by meritocracy. She is even better than most men in contest. Whish they do a full doc on her and HOW she paddles, duck dive, takes off etc...its just beyond unreal ..cheers Bethany!.❤

Moana Jones is in a totally different league to the rest out there.
Agreed. When the swell picks up, there are certain surfers who shine. Moana is one of them 🤙
Bethany is amazing 👏👏👏
cred to all those women braving that action. Huge shout out to Bethany Hamilton. What a legend!!!
Bethany is incredible 🤙
Mahalo
My first Super Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
As current champion of the Palm Springs wave pool im heading to the North Shore anf gonna win tje Pipe Masters. Turtle said "when the wave break here..dont be there " that kinda wisdom will make mr dominate.
He tried to tell me too, man. But nobody listens to Turtle 🐢

That's one of the things that makes surfing the best sport on earth, the playing field is never the same 🤙
Imagine racing an F1 car.
These women are pure beasts and Bethany...what the heck, how does she do it? Incredible athleticism and indomitable human spirit.
It was crazy to watch 🤙
Jesus Christ, ya gotta root for Bethany just for her extreme effort, the fact she actually made it down one is unreal! The chicks were going for it, I'd be shocked but relieved if none got hurt.
Yea, they took some heavy wipeouts. Ewe Wong was the only one to get injured from what i saw
Amazing women just sending it on big waves
I think they impressed everyone this day. Pretty heavy 🤙
yeah the girls
Some epic rides 🤙
Mass Carnage
And they kept going back out for more 🤙
Go Bella!!!!!
Girls were charging, watching from Australia, respect!!
Thanks for watching 🤙 They put on a show. Looking forward to seeing the girls in the backdoor shootout as well
Annie dos Santos -- is she Brazilian?
Brazilian born, Australian raised 🤙
Legit sized Pipe for sure
Yup, and the swell was rising quickly. The womens final had some bombs. I'll upload that soon. Thanks 🤙
Moana’s wave was the girl’s WOTW
100%
Awesome to see the women just sending it - full wahine toa mode - respect
Yea, I gained a new respect for the women on this day 🤙
Go one armed bandit!!!
Beast mode: On 🤙
All the ladies took poundings that day. I have seen pipe double to triple that size and I got wrecked on a 10 -12 ft backdoor pipe in the mid 80s and I'm still hurting from that train wreck. No helmets.
Gezz, some solid floggings there.
Crazy, eh? The women were sending it 🤙
better to watch with the volume off
Girls out there taking more damage than a 1970s football player. Guess you gotta drop in to keep that sponsor.
I was impressed by how hard some of them were charging
They trying to win a contest. They already sponsored for doing what they love to do. Respect

Simply a difference of paddling power. Pipeline jacks up so fast that even a small paddling superiority makes a huge difference.
Exactly, it's pretty obvious, given the amount of failed take offs that women don't have enough paddling power to get into waves that jack up and go square like that, as for Bethany, it's almost suicidal, you gotta give her credit...
2.5 ft hawaiian... trying to find footage of the women surfing max pipe
Lot of falls. I laughed a lot during this video. But yea, chicks were sending it.
It was pretty gnarly to see live. The finals heat is a bit bigger and has some heavy ones from Moana. Will post it in a day or two
Pipes no joke and all these girls are great surfers. You get 20 minutes and need to get a couple sick tubes and this is what happens. Plus wasnt really good pipe. Shits not easy. Respect
"Pipeline does not care about your emotions"
That's serious Pipeline. I commend the women, they were charging.
Yup, those waves were the real deal and the women stepped up 🤙
They all just crashed every wave! What's the point?
One day they will make all those 🤙
ride or die air drop to face plant no helmet...yikes. the women were sending it!
They took it to another level this year
Looks like she crushed a 10 footer.
Giving it a real crack!
Starting to think some of these girls would take off on anything out there 🤙
wat a waste of waves
Anche su un onda da niente il telecronista esalta ...pure se il surf che fa la surfista fa pena ...bisogna essere più obbiettivi
Insane. No play, these ladies come to slay. 🫡🤯
and they are here to stay 🤙
