The 2008 USBA/Sport Chalet Regional Tour narrows to its one-month mark. Riders such as Jeff Hubbard, Dave Hubbard, Spencer Skipper and even riders from around the world such as Jose Marquina have committed their travel plans to attending this year’s Sport Chalet Huntington Beach Pro. Along with the field of USBA top riders. California’s such as Jeremy Wright look to defend their home turf in the first USBA event on Huntington Beach soil. Jeremy “the California kid” was reached for a statement and said, “It’s amazing all the support the USBA has received this year through media, sponsors, and riders. The Hawaiian bodyboarders have been dominating this year but having an event so close to home is going to give all the California bodyboarders an edge for sure!”
With a large push in the California region this past year we are sure to see new names from California besides Jeremy’s in the top ten of the USBA. The USBA would like to thank all the sponsors of this year’s event. With amazing support by Sport Chalet and new sponsor to the USBA CA regional tour Ocean Current clothing. this Huntington Beach Pro should be regarded as a marquee event on the USBA tour!
