Back from Vacation

Happy New Year. I had a fun break from my sweet life of a Pro Bodyboarder these last weeks from Christmas through New Years. As I was home on Kauai relaxing with my family, surfing with friends and just basically chilling out!! It was awesome. I hope every one had a great holiday experience as well. I got to surf Pipe today for the first time in a long time and I was stoked. It was nothing big or epic but just fun to be back amongst it all again. 2012 looks great so far. Here are a few photos Andrew Rams snapped of me today. As well as some video edits I did over the holiday break, ENJOY!!

I was able to come ome early from from my last trip and so I have even more time in Hawaii before my next adventure. Three whole weeks I think. After shaking off the jet lag I had some fun waves up on the north shore for the first time in 5 months. It was great to get back amongst the power and north shore vibe. Here are some photos Andrew Rams, Glen Yoza and Claudia took. Thanks Guys.

Viva Mexico

The contest in Puerto Escondido Mexico was amazing. I had such a great trip hanging out with my friends while staying at the awesome Aqua Luna Hotel and Surfing great warm water waves at Zigatela and Punta Colorada every day. I am super happy to be home for a few days preparing for my next trip to the IBA event #5 in Sintra, Portugal. Before I leave I thought I would update the blog with some cool photos the IBA crew Sasha Specker and Ray Collins took of me whilst I was competing in Mex. You guys are legends. And a huge thanks to all my friends and family and fans that always are so supportive you guys are awesome. My brother dave gets an extra shout out as he was so great helping me stay focused and relaxed during those final two heats, Mahalo bro.

Hubb’s Week in Review

admin — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 07:58:49 +0000

I had a great last week in Hawaii before I depart for the IBA Puerto event. The 4th annual Keiki Oceanfest went amazing on Saturday. The kids were ripping harder than ever, the non profit’s were so cool and all the volunteers and sponsors were so helpful. It could not have gone better. Then my wife, my brothers and I kayaked the Napali coast all day on Sunday we did the 16mile journey with about 5 hours of paddling and 3 hours relaxing on the beach swimming, bodysurfing, and seeing waterfalls ect. It was beyond awesome. Then Monday I paddled an hour up the coast in to a secret spot with Timmy, KLUM and D-Phil and surfed some slamming beach break wedges. Tuesday I took my wife to get well earned massages and out to an awesome dinner. On Wed. Thursday and (hopefully ) Friday I went back to training at Half Point.

I feel great and am very amped to for the IBA event. I leave for Mexico on Saturday and I hope to be getting shacked in Mexico on Sunday afternoon. Mahalo for all the support. Aloha

Half Point Training Days

admin — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 01:40:10 +0000

My favorite spot to train in the summer for my upcoming IBA contests is Half Point at Sandy Beach. It has rights and lefts, ramps, barrels, shallow reef and a strong current. Andrew Rams snapped a few photos of me today during one of my daily training sessions. It is like this almost every day, and helps keep me fit and on point whilst at home. Thanks Half Point …

Thanks & Sandy Beach

Just wanted to say thanks to every one who came out to support Eddie Solomon’s cancer fundraiser in Hawaii on Sunday. It was a lot of fun and every one seemed to win something, thanks to all the great companies and people that donated items. If you are in California there is a fundraiser this weekend so go check it out it will be awesome. https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=183516105039064 .

Also the USBA Sandy Beach event went off this past weekend as well. It had the biggest turn out I have seen for a Hawaii pro/am event ever. I think there was 24 hours of competition over the 2 day weekend and hundreds of competitors through out all age divisions. Since we had some fun waves the action was red hot. It was so cool to see the level of talent just improve every year. I was blessed to come out with the win over a red hot Spencer Skipper who just returned from a bad shoulder injury, as well as new oz threat Josh Garner and 6x world champ GT who I had to surf against 3 times on Sunday. Thanks to all the USBA staff and sponsors who made the event possible. Photos Andrew Rams Mahalo

It looks like a fun and busy weekend ahead. We have the USBA Sandy Beach Pro happening and it looks like tons of waves will be in store for all. The Eddie Solomon fundraiser and video premier of ”V” is happening at Dave and Busters Sunday night. I heard the video is great and I know every one is excited to help support Eddie. We have $1000 of dollars in raffles and auction items so come down and enjoy.

South America Practice Times

It has been a fun two weeks at home relaxing with my wife and practicing for the South America leg of the IBA tour. Luckily we have had waves all around the Island and I even got a some fun ones at Pipe and Backdoor the last few days. I leave on Sunday for almost a month long contest trip, first stop Peru, then Chile and lastly California for the USBA U.S Open at Huntington Beach. Good waves and times ahead.

Home Again

admin — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:04:49 +0000

I just returned home from the second leg of the IBA World Tour at the BOX in Margaret River. I placed 5th and am #1 on the World tour rankings. I had a great trip hanging with my brothers Mike and Dave as well as all my friends. The waves were super fun almost every day, but I am happy to be home to have a rest with my family and to get ready for the next leg of the IBA tour in South America @ Peru and Chile. Some how I was able to arrive home and straight in to a fun little north shore swell during the last two days with lots of ramps, fun stuff even with a bit of jet lag.

Here are a few photos Andrew Rams took Thanks Drew.
