The following year he proved this was no fluke by winning the first ever Mike Stewart Pipeline Pro.He is known for his amazing and relaxed surfing style, and his ability to ride dangerous waves such as Waimea shorebreak and Keiki. These infamous Hawaiian spots, located on the North Shore of Oahu, receive large swells and waves break in very shallow water. Andre displays great tranquility even in the face of very dangerous wave conditions, and has developed his unique, clean style of bodyboarding.He is also the survivor of one of the most spectacular wipeouts ever witnessed by the surfing community at the infamous Teahupoo (one of the heaviest and most feared waves in the world) in the Tahiti Skins 2000 event. Botha free-fell after paddling too late into the wave, all the way down the bottom, only to fall hard, then getting sucked over and not hitting the coral reef at all.Andre keeps competing in the World Tour and seeking big waves all around the globe.. }
