Arica – IBA Tour – Contest Day 5

May 22, 2010 at 7:15 pm | Spongercity America, Contests, Moving Pictures News

Once again the Arica challenge seems to be a total success with super good waves and a crazy bunch of competitors. Check the Day 5 recap on video here: http://vimeo.com/11910872. Hubb is a freak. How massive are those 2 manoeuvers ? Freaking huge. Hubb pushing the limits of the sport once again and probably the limits of the human body. How’s that landing in the flats ? 99% of humans would just break appart after such a massive landing heheh. Yeah Hubb!
