Check out the video below from last weeks Custom X and Cartel Bodyboards promo at OC Surf n Sport, San Clemente. Look for many more events in the coming weeks!
The RXYM XRMY hit up one of the biggest promo’s ever to hit California over Memorial Day weekend. Tons of groms packed the new OC SURF N SPORT located in San Clemente off Palizada/El Camino Real. Multiple International Pro Riders were in town for the US OPEN of BODYBOARDING presented by Sports Chalet up in Huntington Beach, so every was stoked!
Fans received autographs and got to hang out with Hubb, Dubb, Roach, Rusty Friesen, Eddie Solomon, Ray Machado, Jeremy Wright, Jason Bitzer, & Alex Gero just to name a few. OC SURF N SPORT, RXYM FASHION USA, CUSTOM X, CARTEL, MOREY, BZ, SPORTS CHALET, BODY GLOVE, SAMBAZON, MONSTER ENERGY DRINK, & SUN ZAPPER threw down multiple give aways and prizes.
RXYM’s Rusty Friesen threw out his new CUSTOM X Signature Model, “THE DYNASTY IV” and kids went crazy. Tackling each other almost into the street just to get a chance to take it home. On top of that, Eddie threw out his new NMD Sign. Model and Hubb raffled off his new Sign. Model from BZ… it was almost too much for the kids to handle. Everyone received something and there were smiles all around.
Later that night, Eddie ordered UFC 98 for all the older crew to kick back and enjoy the fights for FREE!! And if you saw the Light HeavyWeight Championship fight between Machida and Evans, it didn’t disappoint. Machida was pin point accurate, barely getting jabbed twice in the whole fight!!! He connected with a quick 3 punch combo sending Evans to the fence. Then in devastating form, threw one last right hook that buckled Evans legs and set him into la la land. Lyoto Machida is the new LHW Champion of the World. What an epic Promo!!
Thanks to Eddie at OC Surf, Paul at Cartel, Mike at Sports Chalet, Debbie at Custom X, Ray at RXYM, Jason at Body Glove, and Chris at Morey/BZ for making this happen!

THE SPORT CHALET CA REGIONAL TOUR IMPERIAL BEACH PRO
Sanctioned: Regional and National USBA event
Title Sponsor:
Sport Chalet
Presented by: BZ, No Friends Clothing, Hydro fins,Dakine and Custom X
Day two of the Sport Chalet IB regional tour began with a stellar performance. Starting off was the “Sling For Bling” tow assistance event. Competitors in 4ft plus clean Imperial Beach surf, were busting massive moves. Jeff Hubbard had a great energy in the water and really went for big on each attempt. The crowd on site and also on the web seemed to be elated to see Jeff pushing the sport as he always does. As for that reason, he was rewarded the winning vote from the judges as the winner of the event. A big first time performance went down with David Phillips coming from Kaui pulling out with a huge air reverse, fully completed rotation, and cleanly landed an air reverse! Spencer Skipper was not on his game as he had a final pro event on his mind coming up later that day.
Skippy guys launching in the tow out demo.
Heading into the semi finals of the Sport Chalet/USBA DK pro division, it was all about Micah Mcmullin smashing every section in sight. . Joe Grodzen was on his game with snaps and floaters which had other competitors talking about Joe may be a consistent finalist on the USBA tour! A stealer darkhorse performance came out from Jacob Romero with a huge front side floater pushing him into his first final of the USBA DK pro division. From the start to finish, David Hubbard was on fire! Slaying his first semi final and stamping his name into USBA legend book. A back side barrel and large floater/snap was Dave’s two highest scoring waves and he made both look like a walk in the park. The finals where dominated by Dave once similar to his semi final, with Micah placing 2nd place respectfully with very heavy rail and heavy tail riding. Jacob Romero finished 3rd overall which is amazing for a 95% prone rider. Joe Grodzen (Skuz) could not find his form from the semis and settled for fourth and hungering for a future final at the Sport Chalet Huntington Pro later this summer.
They call him “Da hammer” It is Mr. Micah McMullin
The Men’s Pro was up next in prime 4-5ft conditions which truthfully was best the USBA event has been seen for the IB Pro. Dave Hubbard and Jacob Romero both had amazing waves, but it was Dave’s massive back flip that rolled and overcame Jacob’s solid invert and combo to back flip. Jonah Romero rode solidly but did not have the wave selection of the other riders in his heat and had to settle for 3rd followed by Spencer Skipper who was not in full form but who had an solid performance throughout the entire event!

The final major heat of the Day was the Amateur division in which first time USBA competitor Anthony Zambino placed third in his first attempt. Kingsly Uaiwa had a great contest thus far but had a poor wave selection and tuff times in his final heat. Riley Dutro, coming out of Oahu, had put on a great performance at his first mainland USBA contest and came home with 2nd to the local favorite Taylor Paige, who put on a very impressive performance all day with good wave selection and combinations of maneuvers.
Good lil longhair there on the left.
A huge thanks goes out to Sport Chalet for making the USBA CA regional tour a reality and for the all around support of bodyboarding. The 2008 Sport Chalet/USBA IB Pro has been forever inscribed in to the history books as the hands down best event ran in California. Great waves, great competition and great sportsmanship made for one of the USBA’s most notable events ever!
