BODY GLOVE FBA TOUR 2011 - Stop #3

Mark your calendars for December 10, this is our last event event of the season!!!

Puerto Rico Update

Our last day we searched all over the west coast looking for waves. The north side was completely blown out by the massive swell. I got to surf Gas Chambers for the first time ever in my life. I got a massive barrel and on my second wave I made all the way to the rock wall, glad didn't kill myself on that one. Too bad we could get any footage, it was a picture paradise!
Till next time Puerto Rico!!!!!!

Puerto Rico Update

Puerto Rico put together a great event, not only the waves are firing, but the whole contest is moving very nice, all the guys from all over the world are really stoked to surf down here. I've seem so many old friends this week, really stoked.
Glad to see CUSTOM X being one of the sponsors!!!

Puerto Rico Update

The forecast for the entire time we are down here in Puerto Rico is great, it seems like we are gonna score everyday. I made this trip with Brian Holloway, we flew together from Orlando and down in PR we met with Damian Dinham, Dan Worley, Billy Andersen and Devin Ricke, the best of the best from Florida.
You can see Damian scoring this nice barrel!

Puerto Rico Update

My first day in Puerto Rico!...conditions were great, 6 ft glass all day long, we surfed in Middles right before the contest and after the contest till dark. It was nice to surf to all those PROs attending this event. The bad news, I got about 40 sea urchins in my right hand. I've surfed this place several times, never had an incident, now I got as many urchins as I could collect in one session.

IBA World Tour 2011

Puerto Rico will be hosting the next event of the IBA World Tour with the highest purse this year. I'm on my way down there to join the crowd. Follow up at www.ibaworldtour.com

Cold Fronts!

If you live in the Gulf, you know the drill, once these cold fronts start getting here, we start getting waves from them. This week we had waves for 3 straight days, that's a long time if you live in the Gulf. I found this gem south of Tampa.

The BODY GLOVE FBA TOUR 2011

After 2 long days of contest, we got done with the second event of the year. Congrats to Brian Holloway for taking 1st place in the PRO division. Thanks to everyone for participating and specially to all the Sponsors for making this event possible.

The BODY GLOVE FBA TOUR 2011

With a gret turnout, we got ready for the second event of the season for the BODY GLOVE FBA TOUR 2011. This is the largest Bodyboarding event in Florida, it's a 2 days event with a double point in the Standings.
Sad news last night when the entire Bodybaording Community found out that our felow friend Eddie Solomon passed away after battling with Cancer for more than a year.
We decided to honor his memory right away and did a paddle out on his name.

This weekend!!!

Hurricane Maria

Pretty active hurricane season!
Now we Maria, not as big as the other ones, but fun waves. I surfed in Ponce Inlet, couldn't believe it. 5-6 ft waves, light winds and small crowd. Now heading out to the SURF EXPO in Orlando, I'm stoked to see some friends and sponsors at the event.

Tropical Storm Lee

Just getting home from New Jersey and got the chance to surf at home, thanks to Lee, not a major storm, but good enough for some waves in the Gulf. We had waves the whole Labor Day weekend.

USBA JENKS PRO

Dave Hubbard took first place in PRO division, my friend Dan Worley took first place in DK Division. With that win Dave Hubbard took Season Champion on both divisions, PRO & DK, what a year for him, Congrats!

The USBA JENKS PRO

The swell from Hurricane Irene is almost gone, but so competitors couldn't make the flights on time due to the hurricane, that's why the event was postponed for a day.
I got an invitation from Jason Bitzer to be a judge at this event.

Irene in New Jersey

Hurricane Irene continues to bring swell to New Jersey. It's a bit smaller, but plenty of surf. Here are my friends Damian Dinham and Dan Worley. Somebody forgot to take a picture of me!
The Jenks Pro was postponed for a day, so we had a whole of surf!

New Jersey

Ok, so we made the long drive from Florida to New Jersey. We were chasing Hurricane Irene. Tons of rain but no major damage on the road, I'm glad. Once we made it to seaside Heights, we couldn't wait a second to jump in the water. That was probably the best I've ever seen the East Coast. 6-8 ft, maybe bigger sets coming with perfect barrels and offshore winds. Nobody out, I couldn't believe it. I made the trip with my friends Dan Worley and Damian Dinham. We were so satisfied with the surf sessions, that we could have made that trip back home that day and it could've been all worthy.
