Jeff Hubbard has conquered the 2012 Encanto Pro, at Middles Beach, in Puerto Rico. The 2012 IBA World Tour title will be decided in the Fronton Pro, at the Canary Islands.
In the last heat of the 2012 Encanto Pro, Hubbard met the "dark horse" and managed to get better waves with a total of 16.55 points, against 12.7 points by Babby Quinones. "I am exhausted. I was excited to surf with Babby. Thanks everyone in Puerto Rico for sharing your waves. Everyone was ripping. Thanks to everyone for the support", said Hubbard. "I was in focus mode all day. I was trying not to think about the title race or be too distracted by Winnie's performance. It was hard, because he was killing it". The Hawaiian clinched his third Grand Slam Series event, rocketing him back into the lead on the rankings and putting the pressure back onto Dave Winchester. The Australian bodyboarder will have to improve on a third place finish, if he is to challenge Hubbard for the 2012 world title. The Fronton Pro has already decided world bodyboarding trophies. The infamous Spanish slab crowned Pierre Louis Costes in a dramatic finish against Jeff Hubbard. Will the Hawaiian get his revenge? The 2012 IBA World Tour Rankings: 1. Jeff Hubbard Hawaii - 8440 points |
