Dave Winchester wins Arica Challenge 2010
Australian Dave Winchester was crowned champion of the Arica Chilean Challenge 2010 on Sunday. With a sensational performance Dave beat Amaury Laverhne, capturing his first victory on IBA World Tour. With a perfect 10 and 9.75, Dave was almost unbeatable, scoring 19.75 points out of possible 20 and picking up 2000 points on IBA World Ranking in the process.
Final day conditions were perfect with 6-8 feet waves. In the last heat of ACC 2010 Dave showed all of his style & power. On his second wave, Dave did a huge aerial reverse that earned him 9.75 of the judges, leaving Amaury in combination situation. However, the best was yet to come.
"Last year I was third and I want to win here. This is my first victory on tour and this is very special. I was competing like it was a free surf. I missed the first event in Pipeline, which was also a Grand Slam, so now I'll have to run to enter in title race", said Winchester.
In second place Amaury Lavehrne received 1720 points and still in first position on IBA World Ranking. This was Amaury´s second final in a Grand Slam event in 2010.
Now we're heading for Peru!
Looking forward to it!

Buzios Day 3
The big stories, though, for round four of the men’s pro division were Jared Houston (SAF) and 2x world champion Damian King (AUS). In heat five of round four, Jared Houston was sitting third in his heat and facing elimination. With less than a minute remaining, Jared scored a 7.25 propelling him into the lead as well as into the next round! The first major upset of the day would come two heats later, in heat seven, when Damian King was eliminated from competition by the three Brazilians in his heat.

International Bodyboarding has made a massive return to Australia for the Soldiers Beach Pro Presented by Beachin-Surf.
The event was the first IBA sanctioned event for nearly three years after the Human Shark Island Challenge dropped off the circuit in 2008.
The final was two times World Champion Damian King from Australia (Port Macquarie) versus the up and coming South African Jared Houston.
Both King and Houston have been in phenomenal form so far in 2010 with both making it through to the Pipeline Pro final in February.
In Kings road to the top he knocked out the following riders, Ryan Hardy, Mark Parsons, Jorge Colomer, Joe Clarke and Michael Novy.
Whilst Houston's scalps included Ben Player, Nathan Branch, Dan Worsley, Sam Bennett and Amaury Laverhne.
As expected both King and Houston came out firing, both launching into waves in the opening seconds of the heat. King took the early lead with a 6.60, however Houston came back with a quick 5.17 and 6.63.
The lead changed back and forth right through out the first fifteen minutes of the final, with a barrage of Air Rolls Spins and flips from both the Aussie and South African.
However, Kings experience with using the priority system as conditions slowed down in the back fifteen minutes saw him eventually taking him the final, by a mere .67 points.
King put together a combined wave total of 12.77 over Jared Houston's 12.10.
"I am feeling really good, it wasn't the action packed final that I was hoping for but I am still stoked" said Damian.
"I just had to play a smart heat to beat Jared today.
Damian has just returned to competitive bodyboarding in the past twelve months after taking a well deserved break, but admits it has been a tough road back to the top.
"I didn't think that I was going to win the event today, Jared has been surfing really well.
"A few years ago I was just 'competitioned out', but with the help of some new and better sponsorship deals I have been able to get right back into it.
"I really want to give a massive shout out to Jared, twelve months ago I hadn't heard of him and now he's coming second in world tour events".
The second for Houston backs up his third place at Pipeline, putting him in a prime position to take a shot at the 2010 World Title.
"I am feeling really good. I am so stoked to be in the third final this year and I hope to keep it up in the next South American leg of the tour". Said Jared
"My equipment at the moment is really good so I am feeling really confident for the next part of the tour. Hopefully I can do well in Brazil, Chile and Peru".
Finishing in equal third place were Amaury Laverhne of the Reunion Islands and Michael Novy of Australia.
Amaury was pleased with the result as he sets up his 2010 World Title campaign.
"I am actually really happy with this result, my main aim going into this competition was to make the semi finals". Said Amaury.
"I was feeling really relaxed in my last heat, however I stupidly lost priority twice and Jared was surfing really well so it wasn't the time to be making mistakes".
International General Manager Terry McKenna was ecstatic with the result and welcomes international bodyboarding back to Australia.
"This event has been the perfect platform for the IBA to re-launch in Australia". Said McKenna
"We look forward to being back in the Wyong Shire for the event next year, plus we are currently in negotiations with local governments around Australia to secure a Grand Slam event in one of Australia's many waves of consequence".
The event has been made possible with thanks to the Wyong Shire Council, Beachin-Surf, Star 104.5 FM, Dunes, Chico, Rebel Sport, RAW, IBA, The Beachcomber Hotel and The Greater Toukley Vision.

Shane Rielly
Howzit Shane tell us where you from bro?
I'm from East London. Known as 'Slummies' to some, but I think it's an awesome place.
How long have you been bodyboarding?
About 17 or 18 years...
Tell us a bit about your missions and travels?
Well, up until quite recently I hadn't traveled all that much except for a bit around SA. My girl and I are in London now and we recently did a trip to Scotland where I got some mad waves.
Are you looking to travel in the near future?
We're planning a pretty big trip soon before we come home to SA. If finances and visas allow we'll be hitting the USA, Oz, Indo and the Philippines. Then, if there's any cash left we'd like to do the SA coast for a while...
tell us about your favourite spot in SA?
My mates and I know a bunch of great spots around EL and I have a few favourites. Probably my best though, is a spot called Sarcasms that doesn't work very often, but when it does it's stupid good!! It needs pretty big swell, a specific tide and the right swell direction so it's tough to get it when it's on...
and your favourite spot internationally?
Probably the same spot, but I surfed some sick spots in Scotland.
Tell me about your worst wipeout...Where did it happen?
At this spot called Gashers. It's flippin heavy slab with a full-on dry rock ledge about 5-10 metres in front of where the lip lands so there are proper consequences if you don't make the barrel or if you get sucked over the falls. I went out one day when it was probably the best I've ever seen it and I thought I'd pick off a small one to get into the surf. It's a serious wave so you need your mind right :)
Anyway, I rode the small one and when I pulled of the back the lip caught my feet and sucked me over. My feet hit the reef and the lip launched me towards the dry ledge in front. My head got slammed into a sharp section with barnacles all over. I got 4 stitches in my ear and 3 in my neck and missed the sickest waves - that's what hurt the most I think :)
I also got bumped my a shark when I was 16 - that was stupid scary, but I as unscathed so it doesn't really count as I wipeout I reckon.
Tell us about your website Video Surf Guide?
I started the site because my girl and I were planning to travel a lot and I thought it would be a good way for guys to check out a location before they spend their hard-earned cash on a trip. We'll see how it goes...
Who is your role model? who inspired you during your career as a bodyboarder?
In life - Jesus is my role model. People thought He was crazy, but He stuck to His guns. He's really inspirational to me.
In bodyboarding I'd say my mates have always been the guys that pushed me the most and kept me in the water. There have been some seriously good riders from EL over the years, but none of us have ever really been into contests so ou's names never really get out there. I'm not sure if anyone would have heard of a guy called Jacob Reeves, but he was around a few years back and he was mental good! I dug him a lot...
It's also sick to see SA ou's like Mark McCarthy and Spex doing well! They're both such nice guys too...
What gear do you ride at the moment?
I'm not sponsored at all. I have a Science Customs board from Al Taylor and a Cartel board. I've used Churchill's forever because I have caveman feet that are too wide for any other fins - still have some Makapuu's. I think I might try some Stealth or Limited Edition fins out when I get to Oz though. I have an O'neill wetsuit. I use Prestik in my ears.. :D
How do you see bodyboarding progressing in SA?
Honestly, it's pretty dead in EL and I don't know much about the rest of SA so in my mind it's a bit gloomy. I really can't understand why the sport is so stunted though. I flippin love it! Surely heaps of other people should too? hahaha...
The ou's at sixty/40 are doing such a mental good job though and that gives me a lot of hope. Factory 7 also really support the sport so I reckon they deserve support in return. The SABA guys have always worked super hard too so that's really encouraging too.
I think industry plays a big part though. If ou's would support brands who seriously support the sport we would see real growth, but surf brands get all the revenue from boogers buying clothing etc so when that gets sorted we'll see real growth I reckon.
Any words of wisdom for the young and aspiring bodyboarder?
Just keep loving it and doing it because you love it! Bodyboarding might not be as 'cool' as surfing, but at least the sport isn't flooded with posers
You got some last words?
I've just got to say that my wife is just too much! I don't know many guys who's chicks would cruise around the world with them and point a video camera at them while they surf - and never complain about it. She cooks like a champ too! :)
Thanks for your time bro, You are an all round top guy and I am looking forward to welcoming you and your wife to my home in Cape Town.

Jared Houston signs with Turbo Bodyboards
Turbo will be providing Jerry the financial backing to follow the IBA World Tour, along with the support to participate in some exciting new concept trips in the coming months.
Glenn Taylor, Head Shaper of Turbo Surf Designs, said the following in relation to Jerry joining the team:
"We are stoked to have Jerry join the team, his riding ability along with his attitude both in and out of the water are impressive considering he is still only 20 years old. He has a huge future in the sport. We actually were in discussions with Jerry for the Turbo team prior to the Pipe event but he simply left us with no choice after his performance at the event. Jerry will start off riding the iconic Turbo IV board and I look forward working with him on board design over the coming years."
Jerry said the following in relation to signing with the Turbo team: "I am absolutely pumped on being a part of the Global Turbo team, I really like the image Turbo holds within bodyboarding and the boards are at the forefront of performance and durability. I am really looking forward to traveling and competing with the rest of the team in 2010, all the guys shred and I feel really privileged to be a part of Turbo's big plans for the future. I know it’s going to take a lot of work, but with the epic support I’m getting, I feel really confident that I can achieve good things this year!"

Turbo Pipeline Pro 2010 - Day2
Video: Turbo Pipeline Pro 2010 - Day 2
Day 2 of the Turbo Pipeline Pro presented by Body Glove served for some epic 6feet conditions. The waves did look a bit messy at times and great at others... "this means that the riders have to show there versatility to progress" said Terry McKenna the IBA General Manager who is very happy with the event so far. Apparently there is a 17 foot NW swell headed for the North Shore on Day 3. It will take another full day of surfing to conclude the event. So lets hope for some big swell and good times on Day 3.
"Hawaiian Vaj Lederman, who gained a local wild card into the event, ripped through all of his heats and was by far the stand out surfer of the day.In the round of 96 he put together a combined wave total of 16.90. This included a near perfect 10 for a huge double barrel at Backdoor" - IBA Website
Watch the event LIVE on Fluidzone
Hopefully we'll have a new Pipe Champ by the end of the day.
See you guys soon
