So when was the last time you seen a chic on the cover of a bodyboarding magazine in America???  We honestly can’t recall and furthermore we can’t recall the last time we’ve seen a bodyboarding magazine in America in the last few months!!!  Well don’t fear Spunjah Chronic is here with the coverage!!!  Karla Costa Taylor on the cover pictured above on an original copy of the October 1998 Bodyboarding Magazine (R.I.P.) that we had in the Spunjah Chronic office.  That’s over 11 years ago!  Well just to let you know the girls are still around and we’ve got the exclusive interviews with some of the female bodyboarders today!…

Yeah so what about girls?  Can they bodyboard?  Of course they can!!! This isn’t the NFL, this is bodyboarding and you are tuned to Spunjah Chronic and that’s what we’re all about.  We can’t get enough of bodyboarding.  About two weeks have passed since the North Shore Soap Factory Women’s Pipeline Pro.  Heights Productions CEO Mark B has provided us with some handheld footage from the contest water patrol tent.  Mark says “I was in the water down the beach and could hear on the loudspeaker that the finals were coming up and Heights Productions needed to be on it so I hung up the board for a bit and checked it out…”.  The finals brought an interesting mix of riders out into the mix including Brazilian Karla Costa Taylor, Japan’s Sari Ohara, Venezuela’s Lumar Gittard and Hawaii’s own Jade Robles.  Although the waves were small this was the time to shine for the women at Pipe.  Whether it’s 1-2 feet or cracking on the outer reefs Pipeline possesses a high risk in all conditions.  This time around the waves were in the 3 foot + range and the women made the most of it.  Check out the video below for the recap of some highlight waves.
