"Pipeline likes certain people."That's how surfing legend and twotime Pipe Master Gerry Lopez explains the epic performance of Brett Barley at this year's Volcom Pipeline Pro. A relative unknown from North Carolina, nobody replica A Lange & Sohne Richard Lange watches expected the 20yearold to lock in a perfect 10 on his opening ride at Hawaii's most infamous wave – his first drop at Backdoor ever. Or to add a 9.67 later in the heat to hold the highest total of the comp. Or to make it four more rounds before going down in the semis to former Pipeline finalist Mark Mathews and North Shore local Danny Fuller.
For three days announcers swooned every time he advanced; and after each heat they wondered, "How does he do it?"Well, Barley's success is as much about heavy wave experience as it is as about a churchgoing Southern boy's good karma. replica A Lange & Sohne Datograph watches As the first pro export from Cape Hatteras proper – the holiest ground in East Coast surfing – Brett grew up paddling out in hurricane whipped seas and howling north swells that pitch, spit and punish like few sandbars on the planet, developing an innate sense of ocean knowledge and a borderline insane bravery. Furthermore, while may be his maiden comp at Pipe,
it's hardly his first North Shore season. He's spent four years seeking big waves and feeling major beat downs, generally only poaching rides on the most maxed out and unforgiving days. And never getting enough.As fellow Outer Banks charger replica A Lange & Sohne Datograph Perpetual watches Jesse Hines recounts: ?"We went to Hawaii when he was 16 for his first time. He wanted to surf Pipe huge, so bad. It never got that good, but we took him out. And he just got addicted.?? The next year he caught this one and it didn't barrel at all and he went to pull in and it nailed him on the head.
