About Pipeline

In 2016, while driving along Hawaiʻi’s North Shore during Memorial Day weekend, Gayla Young felt a spark of inspiration as she passed the legendary Banzai Pipeline. As a Native Hawaiian, she recognized that the name "Pipeline" not only reflected the iconic surf break but also captured the essence of her cultural roots and the vision she had for her future business.

Located on Oʻahu’s North Shore, the Banzai Pipeline—often simply called "Pipeline"—is one of the most renowned surf spots in the world. Known for its powerful, hollow waves that crash over a shallow reef, it attracts elite surfers and serves as the site for major competitions like the prestigious Pipe Masters.

While Hawai‘i is celebrated for its breathtaking beaches, these shores represent more than just natural beauty. In Hawaiian culture, beaches hold deep spiritual significance, symbolizing a sacred connection to the land and sea. Inspired by this relationship, Pipeline Malasadas™ is committed to protecting the ocean by promoting sustainability and reducing single-use plastics—because we all share the responsibility to mālama (care for and love) our oceans.
