A big congratulations goes out to Pierre Louis Costes of France.  He has won the IBA world tour event in Buzios, Brazil. Watch as he celebrates his victory in the video below.  When the Spunjah Chronic staff first met Pierre here in Hawaii he was nearly 15 years old and already possessed some serious talent on a bodyboard.  We were formally introduced to him through his good friend and Shark Island Challenge winner Ewan Donnachie.  Over the last 5+ years we’ve seen Pierre evolve into a heavy hitter in professional bodyboarding.  Much respect Pierre.

The video was contributed by SpunjahChronic.com associate Mike Stewart.  Mike Stewart has provided us with coverage fresh off the presses directly from Brazil.  Early on in the 2009 world tour competition of bodyboarding Mike has been bringing us up to date coverage of his travels ever since.  The raw guerilla style coverage from a small cellular phone is bringing an element to the sport that has been long forgotten, RAW footage!
