Despite a ferocious start by Jamie O’Brien, 19-year old John Florence rallies from behind in the dying minutes of the final to win his second Volcom Pipe Pro in row.

Pipeline came to life yesterday for the start of the 2012 Volcom Pipe Pro.
Volcom Pipe Pro: Day 1 Highlights
After five fun-filled “lei days,” the Volcom Pipe Pro kicked off in anything but fun conditions. The offshore buoys kicked up big time last night and by the time we were able to see the surf this morning there were waves capping on the third reef at Pipeline. The contest was green lighted and the “Warriors” were out there.
The first round of heats was for local trialists who hadn’t accrued enough ASP points to get seeded into the main event. Making it through the talented field of local rippers was North Shore lifeguard Dave Wassel, local Pipe standout Kawai Lindo, Volcom wildcard Parker Coffin, and a surfer to be determined.
Mexican barrels to try to get you through this flat spell…
