A Billabong Pro Pipeline series dedicated to those committed, skilled and fortunate enough to have caught “The One” at the world’s most famous, most dangerous wave. In this episode, the timeless North Shore legend Michael Ho pioneers a backside line still followed today. We all have one — that ride of a lifetime when everything comes together and becomes the personal benchmark for every wave ridden in the future. But when it comes to Pipeline, a ride like no other has a tendency to take on a more significant meaning. For some: it’s life-changing. For others: borderline-spiritual. At the very least, it’s guaranteed to stay seared in their memory for eternity. On the eve of the 2023 Billabong Pro Pipeline, we’ve created a series dedicated to those committed, skilled and fortunate enough to have caught “The One” at the world’s most famous, most dangerous wave. And hoping this inspires a few more “Best Ones Ever” at this event and beyond.
