- Pipeline is going off and surfers are getting hurt. This is a video of Kala Grace taking a lip to the head as he tried to duck-dive a wave. He was unconscious when the water patrol arrived and the ski driver abandoned his ski to get to him. Commentators stated he was breathing, injured, and on his way to the Hosptial via Ambulance.

Having been a jetski rescuer for over 8 years I can say these guys are by far the best in the world. So precise and their skills are second to none. Amazing job!
Somewhere else in the world that man would be dead . These guys are legendary
Brave rescue thank you Lifegaurd/ski team Da Hui
Amazing rescue. Those lifeguards are incredibly brave.
Life guards on north shore are absolute fuckin heroes! Bro bailed on his ski and jumped into double overhead whitewater to save his life. Damn man, he punched danger in the balls. Best in the business
Legendary rescue mahalo to the Hawaiian life guard and patrol for saved his life was not easy whatch a wave hunter brother battle with his life . Mahalo 🙏🏽
Shows how dangerous that wave is, one of the best guys out there. Glad he survived and hope for full recovery.
I wish we could get an update on Kala’s condition. Praying for him and his family and the others injured.
his dad gives a little update in this interview... www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2023/01/16/2-pro-surfers-injured-during-competition-pipeline/
He was discharged from the hospital and is home resting now. He had a severe concussion and sustained some gnarley lacerations over his left eye and along the left side of his face from his eye down his cheek, and along the jaw. Dudes a warrior.
Damn it, that’s the nightmare right there. Not even from eating it on the wave, but from trying to paddle back out. That wave is so powerful and so shallow… no where to duck dive, you get caught in the wrong place and… thank God for the water patrol guys. Prayers out to Kala and his family. Looking like he’s going to be okay. Just read an article from Stab saying he’s conscious in the hospital making jokes, so thank God we don’t have to lose another brother too early. 🙏
Ya, looked like he was so gassed he didn’t even attempt to go under the second wave and took the entire thing directly to his head. Unbelievable 😢
@UCm5pPzuQ6wIexUNXap4UEmQyou can see the first wave he duck dives after going for the close out barrel, it looks like he tries to duck dive in the perfectly wrong spot and gets drilled by the full force of the lip. I think he gets slammed and smashed against the bottom there and his helmet gets ripped off, which is crazy. But it looks like he’s still conscious at that point and appears to wave to the lifeguards before that second wave comes which the other surfer is also duck diving… hard to say when the most damage happened and when the lights went out. My guess is that the most damage was done after that first duck dive attempt and the second one sealed the deal. Super scary tho and huge props to the water safety team. They saved his life.
Prayers for Kala. ❤️
Best lifeguards on the planet
Amazing . Lifeguards congratulations. Thank s 👏👏👌😇🆗
Prayers for kala 🙏
Right when he goes to duck dive I hear “lily kala” and “dying” from the announcer. That gave me chicken skin when I rewatched it. Water patrol was on it instantly and more then likely saved his life!
Goes to show, surfing pipe without these guys in the water has exponential danger. Guys left that instantly without thought for anything but getting him to the surface.
My prayers to Kala, Mahalo to the Rescuers getting to him
Prayers for Kala
🙏🙏🙏
Kala, The Gladiator
looked like it was on the duck dive he got full impact on his head or back. had a similar situation, broke board and ribs.
Sharp training from the lifeguards
Can someone explain me? Was Kala Grace injured by the wave at 0:28 while trying to duck dive or he is the guy in the inside at 0:43? First I thought that these surfers were the same person but then I got confused. If he was injured by the wave at 0:28 was a big mistake. He just tried to duck dive under the lip. He should have ditched the board. Praying for him!
It is my understanding that the wave he was surfing clamped hard on him and ripped his helmet off. After that, he came up a little dazed and had to make the decision to duck or ditch and we see what happened. His dad said he had a big cut above his eye so hit the reef at some point and was knocked unconscious. You can see that the water patrol almost didn't notice him but they are so on it they got him. I thought it was his helmet floating along and the swimmer was getting Kala. But that was him being drug along. Lat update I watched said Kala is on a ventilator and writing things on paper to communicate. He should be OK in a few more days.
Any updates?
Saw this on a diff site "A Little Update On Kala Grace He Is at Queens Hospital Being Work On.
Just What To Say A Big Mahalo To All The C & C North Shore
Lifeguards & Billy Kemper. This is such a hard bus ride home
knowing that my son was purple when He got to the beach and his lungs
was filled with a lot of water & there was "No Response" at First
& Seem Like The Longest & Then He Started Coughing out the
water from inside his lungs as the color of His Face was coming back. I
was Watching By Son Taking His Last Breath. After all that water came
out and Billy Kemper was talking to Him to to hold on Kala it was very
hard to be right there. We waited for the ambulance for maybe like 10
minutes on the beach. After a couple minutes on the beach Kala responded
and got the water out of his lungs.He was Asking for His Mom & GF
It's So Hard To Write & I'm Crying as I'm doing This. Kala Helmet
Came Off on a Big Wave, and The Next Wave Slam Him Under Cracking His
Head Open Above His Lift Eye. Sorry for Now & Just Send Prayers
Towards Him & Love Your Ohana Because Life Can Flash In Front of
You. Mahalo Ke Akua"
