Agent Eighteen Hubb video clip

It was shot by Mark Balasbas here on Oahu  before I left on my long trip. We had only a few days to shoot, so we did the lifestyles in the morning at home and down town and then also got a quick afternoon session in at half point and then the day I left I had one hour to film at Rocky Point before raced to the airport to grab a morning flight to Brazil.  Mark FTP’ed the footage to Agent Eighteen and Bryce edited it all together very nicely.

Here is an interview that Riptide mag  did with me that was supposed to accompany the press release but it never made the site but you can view it below.

Hey Jeff,

We are looking at getting a bit of an interview about your new signing with Agent Eighteen just to coincide with the press release they are putting out this week.

If you could answer the questions below and email them back that would be ace mate!

1.       What was the attraction to sign with Agent 18?

The suit are so sick and they are expanding rapidly around the globe in to many new markets and I am positioned to help them promote the brand in these new areas.

2.       What are your thoughts on their new suits?

They are the most amazing quality suits with the most cutting edge designs and features. I am so impressed on the wetsuits and craftsmanship that when I put on a suit I don’t even realize its there and that is exactly what you look for in a suit. The new ID Atlantic 4/3 is the warmest suit I have ever used.

3.       What does this new sponsorship mean for your career?

I am really excited about this opportunity to work with such a proffesional group of individules that really care about the sport and know how to make an impact.

4.       What does it mean for you personally?

It is awesome to be apart of something so different an unique and have an opportunity to help make things happen.

5.       How did it feel to be a approached by such a prestigious brand?

I was really flattered that Agent Eighteen took an interest in me.  They are really serious about pushing the brand, products, sport and myself to the next level all around the globe not just making it an Australia brand.

6.       What is your direction going to be with Agent 18?

I am going to be working hard to increase the brand prescense around the globe, and to help collaberate with the design team to incorporate some exciting features to the next ranges.

7.       Is this the first Australian brand you’ve signed with? And do you think it will garner you more exposure over here?

Yes, this is the first Australian brand that I have signed with and I think it will defintily be an incentive for me to get to Australia more often to work on the Agent Eighteen events that they have planned for the future, and that should result in more exposure for both me and Agent Eighteen.

8.       How does it feel to be apart of a team that has so many big names in bodyboarding?

It feels sick as there as some diverse and unique indviduales working to push this brand. I also  that I think the team complements each other really well and there are going to be some really cool future iniatives coming from our team.

9.       Does this mark a new direction for Mr. J Hubb?

I think it means that I am still amped to keep pushing my riding as far as possble and to let me to help this brand be really creative and successful around the globe as well by working on some of the amazing projects that agent eighteen have been finializing.

10.   Do you have anything new coming up?

I have So much to do and so little time. I have a few little projects I want to achomplish so we will see what happens in the next few months but I will definitly keep you boys at Riptide up to date.

11.   How involved are you going to be with Agent 18?

Thanks for your time Jeff, I really appreciate it.

Kind Regards,

Paul.
