North Shore local Moana Jones Wong and 11-time world champion Kelly Slater took out the Billabong Pro Pipeline in double-overhead-plus conditions at the famed break on the North Shore of O'ahu, Hawaii over the weekend.

Jones Wong, a wildcard entry to the event, overcame 5-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist Carissa Moore, also of Hawaii, while American Kelly Slater defeated Hawaiian Seth Moniz, who is less than half his age.
