Johnson rules waves at Banzai Pipeline
The Honolulu Advetriser
'Pete Johnson's version of sweet music came in the form of his bodysurfing yesterday.
Johnson won the Kekaha Nalu Hanana 'O Ehukai bodysurfing contest yesterday at the Banzai Pipeline. The one-day event was staged in 3- to 5-foot waves.
"This is so surprising," said Johnson, who is 38 and resides on O'ahu's North Shore. "There are a lot of guys in this contest who are much better than I am, but I think I just got lucky today."
The contest was sponsored by Quiksilver and organized by the North Shore Lifeguard Association.
Johnson is a former North Shore lifeguard, and is now a manager for the O'Neill surfing team...'
