USBA sandy beach

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:28:52 +0000

After a fun exciting weekend at sandy’s half point. The contest finished sunday afternoon in pretty fun conditions. The level of riding was super high this year as we had some great competitors and fun waves. I was super impressed with the young hawaiians like JB and Trevor, Sam, Matt and Keoni, These guys really are stepping up their riding and it is great to see the future of the sport is in good hands. The final in DK was amazing Bud and Dubb just blew minds and put on a clinic/show with dub taking home the title. The mens pro final was nothing short of spectacular we had 25 minutes of 4 of the best riders in the world going crazy. Spencer Skipper placed 3rd and had the deepest barrel of the final. Trevor Kam placed 4th and was killing it all day making 3 finals and winning the am 18 and under. GT had the biggest waves in the final and had some great rides and placed 1st, I placed a very close 2nd a had a great weekend of beach fun with friends and family. Thanks for the support every one.

I had the pleasure of traveling to the Canary Islands with Shea in December with all the Hawaii boys.

It was a super fun trip and Shea seemed to be smiling the whole time.

He even stayed on land one day and took some cool photos of me this one afternoon session at Fronton.

Shea has skills in what ever he does and has mad support for the boys.

Mahalos for the support Shea.

Enjoy….

We had over 75 entrants having tons of fun in the surf all day long (7am-5pm) . It was such a great event to be a part of and watch. As all the groms and parents had their bodyboards and were going for it regardless of age, talent and waves size. The waves were fun 1-2 foot onshore and the kids were trying every thing rolls, spins, airs, Drop knee, stand up… whatever they could do to put a smile on their faces. Free entry, free lunch, free prizes for all, and big, big prizes for all the finalists from BZ elemenopee, surfsling , Ocean current, Maunaloa macnuts, dave and busters, t and c, kicks and many more… The top three in each division all won bodyboards, 12 boards total…which shows that this contest gives out more free stuff than any other bodyboard event in the state of Hawaii and maybe even the nation or world…..

Thanks to all the people who helped make this possible, as all the kids were smiling all day.

USBA and July 4th WEEKEND

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:12:51 +0000

The USBA event at Sandy Beach was a big time fun this weekend. Fun waves, exciting action, huge crowds and solid organization as it was one of the best USBA contests to date. The sponsors Ocean Current, Dave and Busters and came through and hooked up a solid 6K prize purse for the event.

Some big names were in attendance in the judging booth making for good calls all day Ben Severson, Hauoli Reeves and Keith Sasaki made sure the judging was top notch.

The amateurs were surfing really good this event Alex Brown, Trevor Kam and Keahi Parker were ripping every heat every day. Alex won the 18 and under while Keahi won the open am and Trevor made the finals in both those divisions. The women killed it too, locals Jade Robles, held her own against former world champ and winner Karla Costa Taylor.

Drop knee was on serious display all weekend with Bud Miyamoto putting on a clinic, Dave Hubbard stepped it up when it counted and blitzed the final heat to take home the DK victory with Bud in 2nd..

The men’s pro was all action from the first buzzer on day one till the final horn sounded on Sunday at 7 pm .

As all the 48 men were going big and killing it hard. The island chain was in effect riders from Oahu. Maui, Big Island and Kauai were battling hard in every heat. Kainoa Lum, Kona K, Josh Wills, Jonah Romero, Jacob Romero, David hubbard, Spencer Skipper, Willy Petrovic, Eugene Texteria the list goes on and on it was very exciting to see the riders push each other so hard in these conditions So many wavea at half point have never been surfed so well all day long.

In the end the final results were

1st Jeff Hubabrd

2nd Jacob Romero

3rd Willy Petrovic

4th David Hubbard

Heres some photos of the behind the scenes action from start to finish over my 4th of july weekend.

Bummer SIC not part of IBA

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:50:15 +0000

I read some unfortunate news over the weekend, that the SIC (Shark Island Challenge) is not going to be part of the IBA Mens world tour this year. I guess they could not come up with enough prize money (20K) and in this tough economy I guess it is not surprising. Too bad as the SIC was one of the premier events on tour with some very heavy waves. I always loved surfing in this event as it provided bodyboarding with such a high level of performance and helped make the tour what it is today. I had some decent results in the past a 2nd place and a three 4th place finishes and am very bummed that I won’t be able to compete to win the event this year.

Here’s some sample photos of what Shark Island produces on its best days.

Boogies dominate Pipe bodysurf championships

admin — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 08:19:53 +0000

The Bodyboarders owned the Pipeline bodysurfing event today.

The waves were not perfect pipe but super fun sick body surf type peaks and wedges.

Mike Stewart killed it as usual and won the thing for the 15 time i think

But I Placed second which to me felt like winning when you lose to the best bodysurfer ever.

Ikiaka Kalama big wave waterman got 3rd. Chris Kalima placed 10th and Dan Russo got 9th.

Dave Hubbard Placed 2nd in the grueling rescue race which Super model Todd Sels won. Good skills by all.
