No Drones on Hawaii surf Pipeline

[ShadowCrabb]

LOLZ. And just how do they legally enforce this? And FAA airmen notices for the area?
I would venture over to the media trailer and ask them to see the faa regulations stating you can't fly. I assume they are worried someone will broadcast it without their express consent?
Are they banning unauthorized cameras (DSLR, point & shoot, cell phones tablets, etc.) also?

Believe me, if the Boston Marathon used drones to "police" the course and use picture after picture for media coverage, International surfing contests will be paying big bucks for their overhead shots. Easier than trying to capture rides while sitting on a wave runner.
