Today, i saw first hand the dangers of the "Banzai Pipeline." Oahu's Ehukai Beach Park has some of the most perfect waves in the world. Of course, this is because of the flat and shallow reef, which also makes it one of the more dangeorus places to wipe out...

UPDATE-01/31/2004: I just learned that the surfer, who was injurded that day, died. I would like to give my regards to his family and friends should they come across this page.
