For four months every winter, the entire surf world is focused on the North Shore of Oahu. During the course of the season, some of the craziest, most intense rides of the year go down at Pipeline, Backdoor and Off-the-Wall. This film tells the story of the '15/'16 winter.

Movie Details
Synopsis Mikey O'Shaughnessy Wins O'Neill Wave of the Winter
Underground North Shore charger comes above ground with OTW drainer -- and $25,000

"I remember just looking at it as if it was a closeout," Mikey said. "As I got to the bottom, I noticed it throwing really hard, and I was like 'this is really beautiful.' And then, I noticed there was an exit out of it -- it was far away, but I was like, 'maybe I can make this wave...' I didn't really think I was gonna make it the whole time until I made it out. That's the kind of feeling I live for -- and to have my name to be on the best wave of the winter is an honor, it's a dream come true."

But one wave does not a winter make. And as is tradition, we spent the entire North Shore season with multiple lenses pointed firmly at all the action at Pipeline, Backdoor and Off-the-Wall, captured the best of the best and then sat down the standouts.
