Great waves meet bodyboarders of the 2010 IBA Pipeline Pro
The first official day of competition has run at the 2010 Turbo Bodyboards Pipeline Pro Presented by Body Glove.
This multi-cultural bodyboarding event attracts competitors from all four corners of the globe, with Brazil, USA, France, Australia, Israel, South Africa and Canada among the many. Waves were large in the 6 to 8 feet range and winds varied from light offshore to strong cross shore, pushing the riders in a variety of testing waves.
Drew Innocend of Queensland Australia, was the most impressive surfer of the day. Innocend notched up a 17.60 combined wave total in his round three heat, the highest of the day. This included a near perfect 9.83 score for being spat out of a huge Backdoor Barrell and launching into a massive backflip. All of Innocend's waves were executed with a beautiful precision. Finishing second in the heat was Tom Smith also of Australia with 14.83 and in third Daniel Fonesca of Portugal in 10.74.
