YouRiding BODYBOARDING Battle, a totally new game experience on Facebook
So that all bodyboarders can enjoy themselves, YouRiding has decided to spoil them yet again with its new Bodyboard game release on Facebook! The game concept is simple, appealing, and community oriented, of course! Two players fight one-on-one BATTLES with each other. The system automatically and randomly pits players of the same level against each other.
The more BATTLES you win, the more you go up in the game rankings. The ultimate goal of the game is to outclass all the other players. So that all YouRiding game fans and board sports enthusiasts can join the fun, variations of this game will be released for Surf, Snowboard and Freeski in the next few weeks…
YouRiding BODYBOARDING Battle is available on : http://apps.facebook.com/yr_bodyboard_battle/?utm_source=CP

Follow the pros, the tour, the plot, the contests, the IBA… This year the IBA is as good as it gets – Great events on great spots are a big part of what makes the tour cool but there’s more than just this. One of the great things about the whole new tour is video coverage, interviews, webcasts and stuff. We’re stoked to be able to watch interviews before, during and after the events here on the IBA Tour vimeo channel: http://vimeo.com/ibaworldtour/videos/ Don’t miss this ! Lots of pros interviews before the BOX event !

Grandflavour investing in European riders – great news and probably a good sign for europe, meaning there are more and more talents out of the old continent, more riders, a strong bodyboard scene and hopefully good things coming in the future with euro bodyboarding.
Excerpt from the GF website:
“Gastão Entrudo is the new rider for the Grand Flavour in Europe. Right now, the Portuguese are preparing for the BOX PRO and being one of the 24 on the IBA Tour is going to fight for the best result. These are some pictures from Gastão surfing in Western Australian waters since he got here no more then 1 week ago…”
