The world’s best surfers take on the world’s most famous wave. The World Surf League’s Lexus Pipe Masters, Event 12 of the 2026 Championship Tour, has a holding period of Tuesday, December 8, through Sunday, December 20, at the Banzai Pipeline off ʻEhukai Beach Park on the North Shore. Competition runs only on the days with the best surf in that window, so check the WSL each morning for the go or no-go call before you drive out. Get there early, expect heavy traffic and tight parking along Kamehameha Highway, and bring water, sunscreen and patience. You can also follow the heats on the official WSL event page.

Details can change. Please confirm with the organizer before you go. Spotted something out of date? Let us know.
