Echoscope® pipeline sonar imagery

Ehukai, or “sea spray” is the public access point to one of the world’s most famous surf sites, the Banzai Pipeline. During the winter surf season, northerly storms send massive swells that pound on Ehukai’s shallow rocky slab and steam roll off into the sandy channel. On a big day at “The Pipe, spectators and photographers crowd the beach to watch a mix of surfers ride some of Hawai’i’s dangerously beautiful waves. For this piece we chose the surfers perspective, imagine yourself floating on a surfboard above the reef waiting to ride one of the most incredible waves in the world.
