Drama @ The Pipe Masters
Wow, what an exciting end to an epic year! We lost some legends and we gained some new ones… Kai Otton retired (after a stellar 10 year career), Nat Young just fell short of re-qualifying, Kanoa Igarashi got 2nd and double qualified opening up a spot for Zeke Lau, Conner Coffin barely missed winning rookie of the year (lost by .07 of a point), and Jordy Smith finished 2nd in the overall rankings on the CT! It’s been a great year for Team CI! Can’t wait for 2017…
