IBA World Tour 2012 – What an epic year
Epic year for the tour with an awesome – absolutely awesome – finish at the Fronton a few days ago, crowning Jeff Hubbard with the World Champ crown for this year, PLC wining the Fronton event and stopping Dave Winchester on his way to winning a first world title. Let’s hope Winny can make it next year, would be epic to see him win a world title as he’s been competing so good this year. Only Jeff could beat Winny. Massive congrats to Jeff, what an athlete! Also congrats to Jared Houston, soooo impressive at the Fronton. We think he was the best rider that day overall, unfortunately only 2 waves count in each heat but Jared must have had some of the best moves and waves out there that day.
See you at the Banzai Pipeline next year for the very first stop of the 2013 IBA Tour ! CANT WAIT !
Peep the highlights from the Fronton event, siiiick !

Riptide Mag issue 191 is out
A crisp new magazine is not the only thing hot off the press – with it comes a brand spankin’ fresh concept that is sure to shake up the bodyboarding world.
If you somehow haven’t gathered by now, we’ve crowned our inaugural Bodyboarder of the Year in these pages. Sure, the iconic Peer Poll is cool, but didn’t having the Reader Poll separate leave unanswered questions? We thought we’d give the readers a chance to influence the Top 20 list and the results were, as expected, captivating. Have a flick through and see where your guy or gal finished up in bodyboarding’s prestigious new honour.
We bring you a couple more banging features – one showing that not all high-profile surf trips go as planned, even with a team of four of the world’s best, and another documenting a potential World Champ-in-waiting’s pressure-relieving jaunt to the frigid waters of Ireland.
You’ll also find insightful stories on a diverse crop of some of the sport’s colourful characters – from the prodigious ’90s versatile star, to a young pro at a career crossroads to another burgeoning talent who’s juggling a bodyboarding career with work, a mathematics degree and being a young dad.
Add to that a new focus on big, clean image spreads, and a beautifully shot bonus DVD featuring three eclectic guys from opposite ends of the globe and you’d be hard-pressed to find another product that comes close to the comprehensive bodyboarding package that is Riptide Magazine.

Sixty40 Bodyboarding Magazine Issue 17 is out
Sixty40 Bodyboarding Magazine Issue 17 is out – Issue 17 is celebrating our very own Dropknee World Champion, Sacha Specker. This issue delves into the mind of one of the hardest working individuals in our sport, and in our humble opinion, the best waterman in the country. But that’s not all, we also drop a profile on Dylan Van Tonder, a very talented individual hailing from the usually wave starved Port Elizabeth as well as Luke Kitchin, the current SA Junior Champion. And just to round it off, we have an article on the boys from the dirty south hitting Sumatra. Be sure to check the exclusive clip, courtesy of Josh Kleve, linked to the article. As it’s our final issue for the year, have a safe festive season filled with waves and see you in 2013.
