Hawaii’s Hubbard victorious in Mexico

Hawaii’s Jeff Hubbard won his second IBA Grand Slam bodyboarding event of the year in massive 10- to 12-foot surf at Puerto Escondido, Mexico, on Saturday.

Hubbard took out Ryan Hardy of Australia 14.00 to 10.50 in the final to win the AGIT/Turbo Zicatela Pro.

Hubbard defeated his brother, Dave Hubbard, in the quarterfinals.

"It was really heavy out there," Jeff Hubbard said. "I was just blessed to be in the right spot a couple of times. It’s been a dream of mine to win here in Puerto."
