The Plane Can Wait – Keith Malloy at Pipeline

On his final day in Hawaiʻi, after competing in the Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic earlier in the week, Patagonia surf ambassador Keith Malloy scored some glorious conditions at the famous reef break. “Spring Pipeline is my favorite time of year,” says Keith. “My 7’4” FCD was the perfect board for this day. I surfed for two hours and came in to catch my flight, but after watching another perfect set I had to surf ’til dark. It was worth scrambling to make my flight.”

Here’s to everyone who’s been late for dinner, upset a loved one or, yes, missed a flight because the conditions were too good and you needed just a few more rides. [All photos by Lauren Coffield]
