HISTORY

One of the best bodyboarders ever at Pipeline.

Wise started making a name for himself in the early 90′s as the biggest threat on pro bodyboarding to ever come out of California. Wiseguy excelled at Pipe in Hawaii where he charged anything that came his way by  pulling into the craziest and meanest barrels. This shot Circa 90′s shows a glimpse of BW’s wild side photo Stroh

During the latter part of the 90′s Brian Wise originally from California but now resident of The North shore and respected Pipeline charger brought out a Wiseguy model with B. S.D. Photo Meyer.

            Brian Wise originally came from Orange County in California, mainland USA . His local spot was T Street a highly competive area known for explosive talent and excellent bodyboarding waves. Wiseguy soon stood out from the pack and found a hunger for competing and became a major threat on the USA circuit giving the Hawaiians Stewart, Sasaki and Sevo a good nudge. He had a reputation for being brash and rubbing other competitors up the wrong way. After joining the World Tour in the early 90′s he became a regular finalist and a big hit with many of the Brazilian girls. It was in Hawaii that Wise found his real calling. On the Northshore he built up a reputation as a fearless charger paddling out at 2nd reef Pipe when everywhere else was closing out. He’d launch off crazy sections and pull into monster barrels making it most of the time. Today Brian lives on the Northshore and still charging. Photo below is of Wiseguy cranking off the bottom at Backdoor mid 90′s  pic Stroh
