Practice sessions are on for The North Shore Soap Factory Pipeline Women's Pro

Anticipation is growing as entries grow. The North Shore Soap Factory selected a couple wild cards. Maui's Paige Alms who charges big Jaws will get a slot in shortboarding.

"I am so happy every year to be a part of this contest!", Said Alms."I love surfing Pipe... and watching everyone push their limits. Thanks to all the sposnors for your continued effort to keep this contest going! I hope we score perfect Pipe this year!" Also getting a special wild card slot into bodyboarding will be Jade Robes. 

Jade is a seasoned Pipe surfer and will make the big drops. Keep The Ocean Blue, a project by big wave rider Alec Cooke, is supporting this years event by sponsoring Rochelle Ballard. Ballard has been considered one of the best tube riders in the world and is a local at Pipeline. "It's great to spread the word about Keep The Ocean Blue.

"We all have to do our part now, our Oceans are in real trouble", cautioned Ballard. " It has to be a personal commitment at home, we have to slow our waste, do it for the next generation." Ballard has been a long time supporter of environmental causes and community service projects as is The North Shore Soap Factory Pipeline Women's Pro.
