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.
