O‘AHU, HAWAI‘I – The iconic Banzai Pipeline on O‘ahu’s North Shore will once again host the Hawai‘i Pipeline Bodyboarding Championships, presented by Aloha Freight. This highly anticipated event, running from February 25 to March 10, 2025, will showcase the world’s top bodyboarders competing in one of the most extreme and revered surf breaks on the planet.
A Rich History at Pipeline
Originally hosted by the Honolulu City Parks Department in February 1971, the event was created to promote water safety and wave awareness. It began as a multi division competition featuring paipo board (the Hawaiian term for bodyboard) riders, bodysurfers, and handboarders, and was open to both men and women. Notably, this event was the first-ever wave-riding contest at the Banzai Pipeline, predating the prestigious Pipe Masters by nine months. Over the years, different organizations have carried the torch, preserving its legacy as one of the most important events in the bodyboarding world.
Pipeline: The Ultimate Proving Ground
The Banzai Pipeline is widely regarded as the most prestigious and dangerous surf venue in the world.
Its powerful waves break over a sharp, shallow reef, creating perfect barrels that demand both skill and bravery. Bodyboarders at Pipeline take the sport to the extreme, riding deep inside the barrels before launching into massive aerial maneuvers, including high-flying rolls and 360-degree spins. The contest will feature 150 elite competitors battling it out in one of the most demanding lineups in wave-riding history.
Future Confirmed Dates

Event Organizers
The event is organized by So Stoked Boogie Series, Kaikeha, and North Shore Surf Girls, all dedicated to fostering the growth of bodyboarding and celebrating its deep Hawaiian roots.
