Back on the Pipeline Pro 2011 event

February 23, 2011 at 2:19 pm | Spongercity Contests, International News

Although the waves were probably not the best ones you can score at Pipe we’d like to congratulate the IBA and everyone who made this possible because the quality of the webcast, the commentators, the organisation, the clips, the recaps, the replays, the promotion of the event, the fact that Redbull was involved, the TV’s running the event live, the riders level: everything was as good as it gets !

The only issue we had was the live scoring not refreshing well enough. Other than that it’s simply the best webcast and the best promotion we’ve ever seen for an event and for bodyboarding in general.

Can’t wait to watch the next event at the Box, in Western Australia in April.

Will then follow the Peruvian Inka Challenge, the Arica Chilean Challenge, The Búzios Bodyboarding Festival, the Zicatela Pro, the Sopelana BBK, the Sintra Portugal Pro, the Ferrol Pro, the Campos Pro, the Knights Beach Pro, the Reunion Pro, the Confital Pro and the Fronton Showdown.
(In bold are the Grand Slam Series events)
