  • The year: 1982 at the most prestigious surfing event on Earth, The Banzaii Pipeline Masters on the North Shore of Hawaii. Every year this iconic contest makes lifetime memories, creates heroes, and takes casualties, as this playing field is one of the most dangerous in the surfing world.
    What made the 1982 event one of the most classic and still talked about today,? Two legendary moments: Micheal Ho's dynamic performance and victory, surfing with a cast on a broken wrist, and a young, scared 17-year-old Martin "Pottz" Potter's perfect 10 on a second reef bomb.
    Surfers:
    Michael Ho
    Martin Potter
    Mark Richards
    Shaun Tomson
    Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew
    Hans Hedemann
    Ronnie Burns
    Max Mederios
    Marvin Foster
    Dane Kealoha
    Mike Latronic
    Music:
    Another Dream "Forever in Darkness"
    Moebius "Marlmelando".

    I remember sitting on the beach at Pipe and watching Michael Ho tear apart back door with a broken wrist in a cast.. one of my greatest memories..

    I learned to surf just a little after this contest. Michael Ho’s backside railgrab stance got me into my first waves

      why? what did he do in this comp which was outstanding?

      ⁠6:36 i would say this opening ride in his section is enough to convince me makes the drop stays in the pocket during the right time and cuts out without getting hit by the lip. And he was a shaper as well lets not discount that his boards are still on the used market i was surprised he could surf too

      @@travisguide4516 he is supposed to be surfing INSIDE the tube, similar to Michael Ho and Hans Hedemann. Back then, they scored 10 rides and Mark's strategy was to not fall of & catch a lot of waves. He was a weak tuber rider compared to his generation. What is incredible is the wave at 7:21. This is obviously a perfect 10 point ride.

    You should do a episode about the hawaiian surfers in the 70s. Like Eddie aikau surfing big waves in waimea bay, buddy boy kaohi with dick brewer in the shortboard revolution, the aipa team riders, gerry lopez and more

    Pottz.... Not a decent person.
    Mo Ho.... One of the best and THEEE BEST I've ever seen free surfing at Sunset. It's like nobody is out when there's 500 guys..... Riding from behind the peak to Val's and never fell once in two and a half hours. He is THEEE BEST.

      @HLsab
      Surfed with him several times.... Easiest answer: He doesn't act like many of the other professionals in the water like Brad Gerlach, Christian Fletcher, Brock Little (rip), Ronnie Burns (rip), Barton Lynch (SUPER nice), and many more.... barking at amateurs over waves that aren't even good. He was top 16. He could get the best wave of the set on a 6' day at Rocky "community hole" Point.... but is barking about 3 footers to guys that had no clue.
