In House: Volcom Pipe Pro, Episode 1

An inside look at the two Volcom Pipeline houses and the wild surfers who inhabit them each winter.

Surfing real estate doesn't get more bluechip than on Oahu's North Shore. The Seven Mile Miracle not only faces some of the globe's greatest waves, it is the foundation for some of the most famed and feared property in the Pacific.
Hawaiian homes come no more storied than the twin Volcom Houses, and in Red Bull latest video series, In House, we take a closer look at these two legendary pillars of the North Shore.
The two buildings flank the path that runs from the Kamehameha Highway to the sands of Pipeline. To the east sits Gerry Lopez's old, magestic structure, home of Volcom's upper tier squad members and with history dripping from its walls. Across the way lies the B-house, teeming with grommets and without an inch of couch or floor space for months at a time.
If these walls could talk...

In the first instalment of Red Bull TV's latest series, In House, we are introduced to a few of the characters that stitch together the Volcom Houses' rich tapestry, in the lead up to the Volcom Pipe Pro.

We meet housekeepers Tai Vandyke and Kai Henry, up and coming Costa Rican team rider Carlos 'Cali' Munoz gives us a guided tour of the infamous "Dungeon", Dusty Payne is doing all he can to requalify for the world tour, and respects are paid to a fallen friend.
In House takes place in the lead-in to the Volcom Pipe Pro, a late winter event that allows locals to surf their favourite wave with three others in the water, put on a show for their peers in the twin Volcom Houses, and earn themselves a spot in the draw for the year-ending and prestigious Pipeline Masters.
It's high-impact TV that we're proud to present, and we truly hope you savour the action as much as we love bringing it to you.
