Mecca has woken up: Three epic days on the North Shore and the waves are still crashing

A compilation of the best waves from the last few days of big, tubular waves at the seven miles of wonders

The Hawaiian season officially opened last Sunday, October 27, with a northwest swell arriving consistently at first six feet, then six to eight and reaching 12 feet.

Pipe was the center of the action, where several wave specialists gathered, along with competitors from the QS 3000 held at Sunset and hungry locals after a dry summer along the seven-mile stretch of wonderland.

South Carolina surfer Cam Richards took the wave of the day and drew attention because he had done something similar last year and almost won the wave of the winter award. Now everyone is saying that on one of the first days of the season the goofy footer already won the award.

Richards lowered a bomb under pressure and almost fell deeper than planned. When everyone thought he was dead, he emerged from there in the middle of a strong spit.

Among Hispanics, Miguel Tudela could be seen on Instagram stories posting some good ones.

Below is a compilation of the best waves and the best clips.
