The third day of competition for the 2012 Volcom Pipe Pro started this morning in absolutely perfect 10-12 foot Pipeline. We awoke to pumping surf that cranked all day long from the same WNW swell that washed out Pipeline yesterday.
Today's standouts included three perfect 10-point rides (with a $1,000 cash bonus from Electric's "Perfect 10 Award") given to Balaram Stack (New York), Dusty Payne (Hawaii) and Dylan Graves (Puerto Rico).

It dpeends on what you like to do. If you're an adrenaline junkie who loves action-packed sports like snowboarding, wakeboarding or skateboarding, then you'll definitely like surfing more. If you like to do things like scuba diving or snorkeling, bicycling, running then you'll probably like paddleboarding more. I wouldn't say that it's really an exciting sport but it's something cool to do if you want some exercise but hate going to the gym. It's gorgeous relaxing and peaceful, especially when the water is super flat. It may be REALLY fun if you're in a tropical area with crystal clear water and you can see all sorts of sea-life underneath you. If you want to do something that you can pick up quickly, try paddleboarding first. Surfing has a harder learning curve but it's also an amazing workout. I would definitely recommend taking a surfing lesson whereas you can try paddleboarding on your own without needing a certified instructor.
