HISTORY

Jeffrey Dean Hubbard from Kaui in Hawaii changed the face of bodyboarding with his outrageous aerial assault in the ’90s. He took what Eppo was doing and then brought it to another level. His tweaked airs and rotations above the lip were spectacular and some of the biggest boosts of all time. What set him apart, he was getting higher and doing it every session no matter what the waves were like. He introduced the Hubb move and then he was the first bodyboarder to pull a 720 rotation captured on film. He sealed his fate when he won the World Title and entered the history books as one of the sports most innovative riders.Below Hubb getting vert at Shark Island.
