Stop No 1

     It was “the best Pipe event of the last 15 years..” The most experienced bodyboarders in the world, pulled in some of the most challenging waves worldwide. Jeff Hubbard, Mike Stewart, Dave Winchester and Sam Bennett made it through the finals.Pipe and Backdoor were firing awesome deep barrels. Scores went crazy. Mike had a hard time trying to come out of a dangerous tube. Hubb wanted revenge from the last IBA contest. He opened the show with “ridiculous” ARS! Bennett and Stewart just had to come up with an answer. Everyone was super stoked and not willing to give up. Despite Sam’s score was a 8.25 and then a 8, Jeff Hubbard quickly vasished all hopes with an insane combo. Hubby was crowned Pipe Master and currently leader of the 2012 IBA World Tour rankings. Mike Stewart finished 2nd and proved that he is still The Legend. It could have been his 12th…

Next stop: The Box Pro, Mar 26th.

    “It was a freezing afternoon on March 10, 2011. After two days of travel, photographer Jeff Flindt and surfers Nat Young, Sam Hammer and Dane Zaun had logged a measly two hours of water time. Huddled around their rental car, de-suiting for the last time, the crew got that feeling you always get at the end of a trip; that little voice inside you that asks: Will I ever come back? It spoke to them in unison. And their answer was a resounding “No.”
