Hubbards: nine bodyboarding World titles in Ericeira

The brothers Dave and Jeff Hubbard are true living legends in the bodyboarding world: this experienced blood duo is worth nine world titles, one of them added recently by Dave to such enriched history. The dropknee bodyboarder won his sixth title in the category a couple of weeks ago in Sintra Portugal Pro, the Portuguese stage of the Bodyboarding World Tour. And we can surely say that Ericeira had its influence in such result: before they both headed to Sintra, the Hawaiian brothers were in Ericeira for a training session on Pedra Branca’s lefties.

It was little past seven of a grey September morning when they arrived in the dusty parking lot of praia da Empa. The tide was extremely low, but it was running a few empty, hollow slabs that any bodyboarding lover wouldn’t let go through unridden. The Sun was still behind the horizon when the Hubbards went alone to the water and the rest, well, it’s a history told by the gallery powered by AZUL.
