We havent really followed the latest events on the world tour (IBA) since the Arican Chilean Challenge, mostly because they didn’t look too attractive (sorry) with waves and spots that werent really matching the Pipe, Chili, Shark Island, Chopes, Cloud9 or other events that we had on the tour a while ago and are better suited to bodyboarding and proper TV material & entertaining stuff. However, considering how bodyboarding struggles to get coverage and touch a wider audience to make the sport bigger, better and richer we totally understand that the latest events are much needed on the tour because there’s a wider public to touch, there’s investors, sponsors and people to watch on the beach. Less impressive spots but impressive crowds and more money…

Anyway, here’s the recap of what happened on the world tour since the Chilean Challenge:

Viana Pro – Portugal: Eder Luciano wins
Sopelana BBK Pro – Spain: Amaury Laverhne wins
Sintra Pro – Portugal: Hubb wins (and his brother Dub wins DK event!)
Ferrol Deeply Pro – Spain: Winny wins (and Dub wins the Dk event again!)

Next event is Peniche, Portugal. Peniche is famous for its deep hollow barrels and it’s a world class shorey so let’s cross our fingers for scik waves and action !
