Located on the North Shore of Oahu, the famous winter surf break known as Pipeline serves as the proving grounds for only the most skilled surfers in the world. With razor-sharp coral reef, hidden caves, and heavy conditions, Pipeline is recognized as one of the most dangerous waves, and much respect is given to the athletes that brave the fast, steep drops.
However, surfers aren't the only ones putting their lives at risk at Pipeline. A team of highly skilled rescue personnel known as the North Shore lifeguards, are constantly immersing themselves in the most dangerous of situations in order to ensure the highest level of safety as possible. From no rescues for days in a row, to rescues every half hour, the absolutely no way to predict the kind of work day is in store.
Listen to North Shore Lifeguards, Ian Forrester and Robert Dorr, talk about their lives as key rescue personnel at Pipeline and the type of rescues that occur.

These guys risk their lives everyday so stupid kids like me can go out and have fun! Big Mahalos to the NS guys!
Now listen here boy. nothing they just do what they want :/
True!
islandlifestylephoto Maybe a few less bong tokes and a little more common sense and know your abilities. I've seen the life guards really get pissed when some dumb shit makes them have to risk their lives to save them.

Broke my femur last year on North shore Maui on a big day. Freak accident really but it was a seriously difficult swim back to the beach and a photographer who saw me ran to get the lifeguards. Even the guards were a bit freaked out by my snapped big bone, they were comforting me until EMS arrived. I was cussing like a sailor and they said go right ahead bro, you deserve to say whatever you feel. Many thanks and BIG love to those two guys who helped me through that nightmare 30 minutes and recovered my board for me. Mahalo.
Fuck bro cant imagine the pain
Tod Wollersheim good story, good rescue and recovery ... peace 😊🤘
Hawaiians are so lucky to live there,its the most beautiful place I've ever been and hope to someday return.
A lot of people living there would disagree. It’s beautiful. It’s also overcrowded, highly expensive, with a government that caters to tourists instead of locals. The homeless population is booming. There’s a huge meth problem. People who have lived there all their lives can no longer afford to stay, and have to move away.
Enjoy your vacation, and then go home. You do NOT want to live there. It’s a glorified ghetto with a nice view.
These guards are not only brave caring men but great watermen, they deserve all respect and noted. Thanks for the video, Tor Nerheim.
yes

I surfed pipe this winter for the first time, had amazing waves. The story i find myself telling over and over again though was how supportive I found one particular guard to be. I was super anxious when I arrived the first time. I stood with my board at the paddle out spot for so long, just getting a feel for the waves and mustering the courage to go out. A guard approached and we got chatting. I asked him so many questions and he happily answered them all, told me what to expect and what to do if i run into any trouble. Thanks guys.
Daniel Ogilvie only a few local chum in Hawaii that's Mahal brah, shakka
That’s awesome
So much respect for these guys.
They must be the most attentive and amazing swimmers. So much respect
Big Ups to ALL life guards everywhere!
All respect to you guys. You sure don't bake bread for a livin...
Can't imagine doing that, these guys are top- who life guards should be
I met legend Terry Ahue back in the late 80s..the guy was so calm about going out and draggin some hoale back to da beach who had no buisness being out in big North Shore surf.He and his brother saved alotta lives over a decade or so.Mahalo.
Shark Tooth share the knowledge bro ... peace 😊🤘
One of the best videos I've seen on Pipeline.. Doo do do do and then then biggest set of all time rolls through, what do you do? Start paddling in or out? That's a recurring dream I have and I love it. The power of the ocean swell is something dreams are made of.
I love the ocean but im pretty scared of it. You men are very brave to do this for people who wanta risk their lives for "fun". Thank you 💙
Thank u guys for all u do.
Malik Joyeux drowned after taking off late on an eight-foot wave at Pipeline. Malik was known for pulling into superhuman-sized barrels at his home break of Teahupo'o; he was awarded the Monster Energy Tube of the Year in 2003 for what is considered one of the biggest waves ever ridden there. RIP

Surf fitness is an important part of surfing and one that must be maintained on a regular basis. Im 55 and surfed most of my life. I could surf these waves, my mind thinks it could do it. But because, if I think honestly and carefully, it knows it cannot I choose not to because I havent been in the water on a regular basis and my body just wouldnt have what it should to navigate around the break area with power and confidence putting my life in danger and endangering others out there. Its decieving what a mind thinks one can do and what their body allows them to do. Unless I was 100 percent capable of pulling off all the necessary requirements to ride Pipe safely , I stay the fuck out. No room for people who think they can do it or people who are progressing to this shit. You gotta be in top form in every respect to ride these waves and anything less will result in a bad day. And maybe your last.
To know if you are ready to surf pipe I reckon the best way is to spend time here, surfing nearby breaks and getting to know people. They will let you know if you are ready to ride Pipe. Take it from those who know it best. Locals. If they say you not ready, you just aint ready.
Having more waves for themselves is not the primary reason behind the formation of these local surfing club dudes that heavy people outa the way. Waves are very attractive and beckoning and a male ego along with high levels of testosterone coursing through their body can be a lethal combination when placed on the beach on a good day at Pipe and sometimes a good smack in the face by a more experienced person is what is necessary to save your ass from a nasty beating on the reef or worse, causing your own death or someone elses. Sit back and enjoy the spectacle for a while and think carefully before considering you are good enough to go out.
And if you must photograph surfers doin it, consider a good lens from the beach instead of overcrowding the lineup. Dont think its safe or easy because their are others out there. As you are falling headfirst into the darkness and peril of the reef , inches from your fragile head with tons of water poised to drive you further into and along its ruthless form, you wont see all those other people alongside you any more. It is a very lonely and sad place being suddenly caught in no mans land.
Think, ask, be honest and save the world the loss of someone who could possibly go on with a life that might be useful.
i wonder what makes you leave a huge comment here about what to do and what not to.
Well if you read it all it is self explanatory . If you didnt read it then why waste time asking about it?
Kerry Emmerson That's for sure Kerry. I'm over 50, I LOOK like I'm in shape, my brain tells me I'm 20, and I almost killed myself one winterat first peak Sebastion Inlet 'cause I couldn't get enough air and my arms were no match for the rip pushing me toward the rocks. I'd die just paddling out at Pipe. Know your limits!
premature death. Although a lot of what I wrote might sound negative, the meaning behind it all is of positivity. Who knows, I might have stopped someone killing themselves from my comments and nobody would ever know.
Why do you ask?
It is an interesting question there and I cannot decide whether it is genuine or just a waste of time and energy to say nothing.
Which is it?
+paulslacknoise bwahahaaa omg I'm dyin
to the lifeguards at pipeline....I commend you!!
Straight up heroes!!
We have to appreciate them
everyday heroes!
love the music
Great work guys nerves of steel 👍
The hard rock music and ripping solos lets me know that this is a dangerous job
Gnarly, tough and brave they save lives at the risk of there own Courage man Respect!
For people that haven't swam north shore in the winter. Let me tell you, those waves HURT. I've swam plenty of the less crazy beaches dotted along the coast and the force that even the smaller waves hit you is intense. Much love to the guards who do their best to make sure no one bites it.
Respect! Wish I could be the kind of like waterman these guys are.
These guys ARE heroes without question! Outside the surfing community, the dangers of Pipeline are so often overlooked due to the constant sensationalizing of massive big wave spots such as Mavericks and Jaws, when in reality, every surfer worth his salt knows Pipeline is by no means a place to simply paddle out and look sexy in the water. Haha. Major props and prayers to the guys that risk their lives on a daily basis out there!
Real heroes.
No, they just do what they love to do.
EDDIE WOULD GO!
illusion887 ya rip eddie
f that..take me to the safe spot please
illusion887 yep 😁🤘
The guys have the best job ever! Risky, yet they help people and love the Adrenaline.
True heroes God bless you
These guy's are strictly bad ass.
The music from 1:13 😂 I’m dead.
Stay special, protect the beaches, save peoples' lives. Respectfully, Scott
Respect.
Respect from a Portuguese downhiller emigrant in Holland who was a regular bodyboarder and now just an occasional one, to all these lifeguards, local bodyboarders and surfers of Hawaii...
God bless you all brada’s,
True Warriors!
RESPECT
Mad respect for these guys, they do a great job! Also does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 2:11?
Respect 👍🏽💪🏽😊❤️
Aloha! “
There were no lifeguards in 1973
Just one brave Hawaiian God!
From one dumb Howly greatful bitch!”
I Almost Drowned at MAKAHA BEACH! PIPELINE in 1973-
Due to my own ignorance of the power of the sea;
I almost drowned on Makaha pipeline beach
Where they hold surfing championships. I got caught in the sand rushing out pulling me under the first beach wave which pulled me in an undertow way out to sea.. to the Pipeline- As people just laughed!I surfaced a few times- fighting the power of the sea-each time getting the air knocked out of my lungs by huge waves as the
20 ft waves pushed me deep under and kept me under for a long time - so long - dragging me on the bottom as coral ripped my skin and bathing suit off and I’m a strong swimmer!!
I lost my breath as it kept me under beating me against the bottom for minutes. It took me under 3 times dragging me farther out to sea where the 20 foot pipeline waves were...I went under for the last time as a 20 foot wave knocked all the air from my lungs and I said “ I’m gonna die! As the monster wave took me under, I felt something yanking on my left foot and I remember thinking “This is great- I’m drowning and being eaten by a great white Shark at the same time!” As my oblivious date ignored my peril- unaware of my fight for life; suddenly I popped to the surface and a huge Hawaiian man with arms as big as both my thighs said
“You dumb Howly Bitch! What are you doing out here- you don’t know how to swim!” I clung to his massive arm thanking him, begging him “please don’t leave me-I’m so frightened”. He asked me where my date was and I told him I didn’t know- somewhere bodysurfing! The waves on the shore were breaking over 6feet High. He took me almost to the shore and then told me-“I can’t take you all the way in- my weight will crush you !- so when you feel your body hit the sand, you get up and scramble, crawl as fast as you can to get out of the water and don’t stop until you are on dry sand!”
It took what little energy I had left and as I collapsed in the hot dry sand- I only had my bikini top left and was too tired to give a shit while tourists laughed at me pulling sand over my lower body- my exposed area. I couldn’t walk for atleast an hour. I never got his name or got to thank him in a proper way and I’ve always been sad about that; because he came out there and saved my miserable life! I always include him in my prayers- signed “one greatful Dumb Howly Bitch! 😌🙏🏻☦️
That wonderful huge Hawaiian God of a hero MAN had saved my life. Sometime later my date (first and last date) showed up and asked me if I-was ok? I told him NO!
Please take he back to my hotel! I noticed his face was bloody- I asked him if he had an accident? He said: “ Yeah! That 6’8” 300 pound Hawaiian came and pulled him out of the water and kicked his Ass! Saying I had almost drowned’
I refused the McDonalds Hamburger he wanted to buy me! And never saw him again as they shipped him back to Vietnam- for another tour- hoping he survived 🇺🇸🙏🏻
To this day I still pray for My anonymous hero somewhere on North Beach on the island of Awahoo, Hawaii.
I never got his name but he’s still in my heart.❤️🙏🏻☦️
“Stay out of the Ocean on North Beach - unless you are with a Native or are a Navy Seal! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Lol 😂
Much love. ❤️🙏🏻🌊☦️
Legends
This is sooooiooooooo sickkkk 🐬🐬🐬🐬😭
Nice 👍🏽
I'm a lifeguard, a surfer and water polo player. I can swim 100M under a minute. Still I know how the sea can be deadly. Once in a lifeguard training we all got caught by the current. I spent 20 min swimming just to travel 300meters to get to the shore and grab the boat to pick up the others.
2:13 I have those exact fins
Crazy
In 1980 at age 10 I got pressed to the bottom at this beach. I'm surprised my parents let me ride these waves but I was already experienced at this point from living in Ohau.
heros
Blue Crush 🌊
what is this song called? its dope
What's the name of that first background song?
What song is in this video
Eddie Aikau
+Respect !!!!
You guys must have to swim out to get people a lot! I broke my ribs here. Some crazy shit
saw kyle on "bondi rescue", hope he is doing fine ?!
I would never go anywhere near Pipeline. I would watch others from the shoreline, but I wouldn't dip my toe in that water. FUuuuuuck that.
+mrdontplay right on bru...#Jaws
Aroon Baral go see jaws
In the summer it is totally different.
Aroon Baral 😁🤘
In sane , to many people , to much for my mind !
0:56 "Miss, It's a very dangerous wave, but I keep it from hurting you by holding my hand up like this. You shouldn't go in there without getting checked out first. Can I, I mean, would you like to get checked out?"
0:56 ...is that even real?
+RodneyisGodney Yep!
I was hoping so! Thanks!
Is that you falling from the sky on your sponge? Lmao
están locoooooooooos
Rosangel Ramirez 😁🤘
I learned how to surf at Mavericks
3:16 is one of the toughest shorebreaks in the world...I hope he made it
+gangsterboogie what are you talking about? they weren't talking about a shore break.
+Mydevineself no but get slammed by a big wave on a beach where they have a dangerous shore break and see the difference. #BigBeach
@@Mydevineself Lmk where u think that clip was filmed at. I'm just curious about what your talking about vs. what I'm.
"if you're new to the area..." don't surf here brah
Sh%t, went surfing to Elhukai beach park yesterday because i found it online that it's scattered sandy bottom is good for beyond beginners level. I've got 5 days more left in Hawaii and i think i'm going to try it unless the waves doesn't go up past 5ft lol
❤
Does any one else see a skull or face at 3:48 in the lifeguard towards the bottom of the right window?
it showed junior lifeguards I was one
That thumbnail you should give proper credit to the photographer and show some aloha. Vince Cavataio shot that NS legend don't just use images to pull views and not have courtesy to acknowledge them with photo credit. 🤙🏾
that reef reminds me of Mavericks
kestrelblue damnnnnnn
buenas olas
Onipaa!
I could tell he did not know why he was doing when he went to paddle out.
Look how shallow and jagged the bottom is, you could literally be in a concrete coffin unconscious.
I want to be a life guard when I grow up in San Diego california. And rodneyisgodney yes it's real
William Kegley better start practicing in the pools then kid.
These guys better get paid good
è zona pericolosa ci vuole l'attributi 😨
pipeline !!!!!!!!
Trust when a surfer or lifeguard says not to surf Pipe Line if you’re not ready you are not ready. Pipe line will straight up end you it’s no joke, I have seen professional surfs get fucckkked. I am aware it’s your dream but respect it…respect it
Music please ? :)
Just subscribe
broke my arm at pipeline bruhh
t millz damnnnn
and then i was like, sufring dude fuck yea bro man we are skater
Only in Hawaii
Why doesn't OSHA pulverize the reef and bring in soft sand? This should have been done years ago.
Hank Fuddle that would completely ruin one of the best waves in the world
I believe the reef bottom is Coral, which is a living organism.
Ugh... That's the joke! (It's much less funny when you have to explain it to people)
diver dave
Hank Fuddle it could be done, or just fill in the bad spots and add a bumper pad across the sketchy top 😁🤘
Fkn real world super heroes.
لعبي لؤلوه
Intifada
omg
MEN
I witnessed a person grab right off the beach by the shorebreak and drowned by the rip which flows faster then you could run This was back in the late 60's and no life guards.
Edmund Wong damnnnnn
o
Thats why i stick to sand beaches.
2;40 shows us landlocked wannabe's what this shit is all about....and it makes me appreciate it that much more. Tired of my 9to5....and my second job btw. lol. Respect amigos. You've got it figured out. Keep it real.
i can do 6 backflips on a surfboard
if y’all think pipe is bad check out nazare
Kook
1:18
I'm sorry, but if you don't know how to either duck dive or a turtle roll, then you DO NOT belong on beaches like Pipeline when the waves get that big. You not only owe yourself, but other surfers, that you know how to get pass and under those big waves when you paddle. You are a danger to anyone in the water, including yourself. If you can't do a duck dive or turtle roll, you either go to a beach with smaller waves, or you STAY OUT OF THE WATER!!!

This weed gave me a headache
