World Title Could be Decided at The Encanto Pro.

The last time two-time world champion and IBA Grand Slam Series tour leader  Jeff Hubbard went to Puerto Rico was in 1999. Next week he returns to Puerto Rico, hoping to win the Encanto Pro  and his third world title. The only thing stopping the tour leader from winning is 31 of the world’s best bodyboarders. A win for any of the top ten riders in Puerto Rico will result in a showdown across the Atlantic, in the Canary Islands, in the final leg of the world tour. “I haven’t been doing a whole lot besides surfing and stretching and core exercises. I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of waves are similar to that wave in Puerto Rico and I’ve been watching some YouTube clips of that wave and surfing waves that are similar here in Hawaii. I’m getting ready for whatever mother-nature and God throws at us”, says Hubbard.
