Jeff Hubbard hails from the island of Kauai in the state of Hawaii. He is an aerial specialist on the North Shore and is always a standout. Jeff is down to surf anything on the north shore and is always in search of something to improve his riding. Jeff has been boosting in the North Shore since the early 90s believe it or not and still remains an icon to the new generation of bodyboaders. The picture above shows Jeff doing an air reverse on a mediocre day at Rocky Point, this stuff happens regularly in all sizes of surf for Hubb. Despite his busy schedule he is always “on it” to say the least.
Guilherme Tamega is from Brazil and came from the ground up in bodyboarding since the late 1980′s. Tamega was always known for raw power and the balls out attitude in big waves. He really started to get recognized in the early 90s because of his huge pipe pits and massive air spins. Tamega is an animal on the North Shore and is sometimes forgotten by the media in the rat race there. This time around in the NS2010 DVD we want you to pick Tamega’s brain and see what makes him tick after all these years.
The framegrab above shows Tamega pulling into what surfer Jaime Obrien called “the wave of the year at pipeline”! Check out the NS 2010 DVD to see Tamega get spit out of this beast!
Mike Stewart, what can we say? Well what do you want him to say?!!? This is one of the main reasons that we wanted to involve what legend Ben Severson labels as “The Godfather of Bodyboarding”. That’s a very prestigious title to hold. And a well deserving one for that matter. Mike is recognized around the world by waveriders of all types including Surfers, Longboarders, Bodysurfers and more! The North Shore is one of the coastlines of the world that MADE Mike’s career and still does to this day. In his mid 40s Mike is one of the oldest bodyboarders to still consistently ride Pipeline. But don’t let that word old deceive you because he’s still knocking out people in their 20s and 30s on the world tour. That tells you alot about his dedication and discipline in the sport. Mike is from Kona Hawaii and was part of the revolution for bodyboarding. Mike was hitting reverse airs in the late 80s on boards that you might find at a rental stand today at Waikiki Beach! Pictured above Mike hits an air forward in 2010. Check out the NS 2010 DVD to see Mike complete the air spin. Fire away at Mike, a rare opportunity like this does not come often!!!
