Billabong Pipeline Masters is Nearing Us!

The North Shore is the perfect location to finish the culmination of both series with The Banzi Pipeline hopefully set to fire for the ASP. An iconic and historic wave, Pipe is often referred to as the best wave on the planet. Producing heavy top-to-bottom barrels over shallow volacanic rock its not for the faint hearted however those willing to charge get the barrel of their life and spectators can witness it all unfold right on the beach.

Pipeline has produced some memerobale battles in the past and this year is set to be no different as Chris Bond mentioned in the previous ASP blog with Kelly, Parko and Fanning all battling it out to take the ASP 2012 crown.

To sum up…..

If Parkinson finishes 13th, 9th or 5th at the Billabong Pipe Masters:

• Slater needs a 5th or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
• Fanning needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title. (*Contingent upon Slater finishing 5th or Lower at Pipeline.)

If Parkinson finishes Equal 3rd at the Billabong Pipe Masters:

• Slater needs a 3rd or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
• Fanning needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title. (*Contingent upon Slater finishing 5th or Lower at Pipeline.)

If Parkinson finishes 2nd at the Billabong Pipe Masters:

• Slater needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
• Fanning cannot win the 2012 ASP World Title.

If Parkinson wins the Billabong Pipe Masters, he will take the 2012 ASP World Title.

Weather its Kelly, Parko or Fanning (unlikely) that takes the 2012 crown its set to be an epic finish to a great year on the ASP Tour. Luckily theres a big time diffence between the UK and Hawaii as im not sure what the work rate would be like if it were on in the background…

Heres some of last years highlights below to get you all excited!!
