During Jeff Hubbards tour to the UK to promote his awesome brand HUBBOARDS we were lucky enough to sit down with the man himself and delve into the mind of someone who is widely considered to be the best and most formidable bodyboard aerialist of all time.
We put together a set of meticulously thought out questions to try to find out some of the factors that enabled Jeff to become such a phenomenon in the sport of bodyboarding with his aerial talent.
In this video we talk about who his inspirations were as a young grommet growing up on the beaches of Hawaii.
We find out about his motivation and driving force to put it all on the line to get noticed by the industry and get respect from the locals.
It’s widely speculated as to why Jeff seems to go bigger and better than many others. We talk about how it could be due to his timing and ability to hit the lip with optimal speed and precision that allows him to bust massive airs and put him one step ahead of his rivals.
It’s all very well having impeccable timing and wave knowledge but how does Jeff pluck up the courage to hit those mutant ramps? Although he looks fearless on the videos, does he actually ever get scared and what goes through his mind as he stares up at those 10 foot lips?
What equipment does he recommend using to bust big airs and what has he found has helped him over the years?
What are the best waves in the world for busting extra large airs, and finally if he could give just one tip for the aspiring aerialist what would it be?
Sit back and enjoy this magical 10-minute guide to busting big airs on a bodyboard with the man behind the legend that is Jeff Hubbard.
