The 2011 Sandy Beach Pro/Am is just around the corner. With summer swells heating up the waters of Hawaii both locals and traveling competitors are excited for another great year at the Sandy Beach Pro.  This year competitors from across the nation will be attending the 26th year of the Sandy Beach Pro.

Sandy Beach located on the southeast shore of Oahu, is the home of the modern day Bodyboard. It is where the sport began to take shape in it's thumping shore break on into it's shallow reef at Half point. Athletes such as Mike Stewart 10x World Champion and Ben Severson former World Champion all honed their skills at Sandy's small patch of reef name Half Point. Some of current best athletes in our sport such as Jeff Hubbard 2x World Champion, still today use Sandy Beach as their daily training grounds.

A new generation in the form of Trevor Kam has taken over the reigns at Sandy's and showed his true form making it to the finals of the 2010 event.

The future looks bright for the Sandy Beach Pro/Am and Sandy's even flowing river of talent. However hope spoilers such as 2010 event winner Guilherme Tamega will be in attendance to give the locals a run for their money.

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.
