Peruvian Joaquín del Castillo caught one of the best waves of the day (or the best?) yesterday at Pipeline, on a day that was mostly marked by the gigantic and disorganized sea.

The seal was huge and that's why the Jaws Challenge was held; the surf spot on the North Shore was Waimea, but a few brave souls got into the water at Pipeline.

Joaquin took this bomb and one of those who filmed it, Myall Snaps wrote: “Was it the wave of the day, month or winter?”

Meanwhile, Surfline posted it immediately, writing on their Instagram: “Yesterday Pipeline was big, windy and untamed. The kind of days that most of the regulars sit out there on. But the lesser known ones are looking for a place in the spotlight amongst all the hunting… Joaquin del Castillo is throwing his hat in for the winter wave ring.”

As a small detail, the boy's birthday is today, Friday... Someone gave him the gift in advance.
