Jeff Hubbard - The War Between Surfers And Bodyboarders Crazy Wipeouts & World Titles!!! 

It's amazing that you can have this talk with Jeff. Please continue including bodyboarding and showing how rad this sport is.

Jeff's been my favorite bodyboarder for 20+ years now! So sick when you guys collab. Can't wait to hear this interview in full.

Would be nice to see Andre Botha on the couch. Youngest ever 2 x world champ; saved Evan Geiselman's life in a monster rip; charges anything Pipe can dish up. I recall reading an Interview with Reef McIntosh or someone else saying how this Saffa transplant paddles out in unruly 15 footers where no one else wants anything to do with it.

The fact that you took the time Jamie for us boogies and Jeff to talk like that means a lot! I’ve been riding for Jeff for a long time and repping hubboards since the beginning and I’m beyond thankful of this guy he has kept my fire up through all my ups and down as a single father and I’m almost 30 now and so thankful for him and dave hub for all they do so stoked u had jeff on! Love y’all

I grew up on the big island standing up on the boogie and I watched and studied old vhs tapes religiously of the goats 🐐 Chris won, cavin Yap, Danny Kim ripping! I wanted to rip like the greats and surf the sick waves they were surfing, so I moved to Oahu and set out to find the North shore wanting to test out my stand up boogie skills in some serious waves with consequence. I was hooked right away and surfed it every chance I could, and then one day I just got done surfing 4-6 backdoor and caught a wave in walked up the beach was heading towards ehukai to shower and then I heard somebody yelling but I didn't think anything of it and kept walking, then I hear more yelling, so I look in the direction the yelling was coming from and it was coming from the volcom house, I looked closer, and it was Chris won one of the goats 🐐 calling me over, I went into full on star struck action!😳🤣 I get over to where he was and he throws me a board and said "here use this!". It was one of his custom boards. I just met the goat and he just gave me his board I went home after that session psyching! I told my girlfriend and family right away what happened and they were psyched for me because they knew what surfing meant to me and why I chose to move to Oahu to pursue my dreams surfing the north shore. Chris ended up taking me under his wing and I put my time in surfing taking many beatings but also was rewarded and victorious on many occasions anywhere from log cabins to vland. One of the waves that is forever burned in my memory is I scored glassy big early morning off the wall with just me and one other lucky soul in the lineup and I ended up sticking the craziest air drop and getting the biggest barrel of my Life!🙏 When I finished that session i walked up the beach and was met by the lifeguard on the quad and it was Fred Booth who I also grew up watching videos of him ripping dropknee action, he told me he witnessed the barrel I got and said it was crazy! I was psyching to know that my idols I grew up watching were psyching on my God given abilities!😅 People would commonly mistake me for Chris all the time over the years but I always thought I surfed better than him!🙄 Nah just joke! sorry chris!!🤣🤙🏽 Long story long, stand up boogie is the shit! It's a challenge for sure but very fun and rewarding when things go right especially in big waves🌊✌🏽🤙🏽

watching hubb surf 2ft waves is just as sick as watching him score massive waves, hes for sure a pioneer that paved the way to where bodyboarding is now. all of his no friends videos were epic to watch as a kid.

Truly appreciated this episode, I'm an all bodyboarding waterman. I come from the late 80's through the early 2000's being active in the SoCal South Bay to San Diego stretch of coastline, one of very few black bodyboarders (No Problem A Double Minority) but these days I still enjoy informed and entertaining water sites, yours (Jamie's) being the most entertaining! The truths and mutual respect that was shared was genuine and good for the culture of watermen of all types... Hang loose all and remember the only thing that unsettles those who profit from our divide is UNITY!!! We must look past our differences and see that we have so much in common as the human race...

Gotta get Mike Stewart on the pod cast

Jeff and Dave Hubbard are legends. Hubb Bodyboard fins are the best on the market.

No way hub is 47 .. the goat .. shows what a healthy lifestyle living around the water does 🤙🏽

Two of the greatest pipe legends together!! Legends Jamie and Jeff

That's the era I was out on the booger from about 1990 to 2000. All me and my mates would care about was pulling in to craziest slabs and launching huge airs. We'd catch bus down south from Perth to Margaret River staying at Prevelly Park in school holidays for couple weeks at age's from 12 and surf the biggest Box getting pounded taking off way behind peak, or once staying at Gracetown or Yallingup beach surfing all the waves we could get to until getting licence and car then everywhere was accessible Kalbarri, Horrocks, Dongara, Narloo and more was ripped. I'm abit banged up now from all the football and motocross injuries an KO. Currently just got epilepsy and also broke leg destroyed knee jumping motocross ramps. Been 4yrs since being in water. Killing me not to be able to run and surf. Keep rippin both you fella's. Protect your head and knees. Avagud1

I thank Jamie for putting someone on his podcast that is truly is a ripper. Jeff is so far above anyone that rides pipeline. Mike Stewart is the GOAT but Jeff has taken pipeline to the next level. It must have been a big thing to put a Boogieboarder on your podcast and Jeff is very humble. Jeff is an artist on a canvas that is a wave. 👍🤟🤙

As a primary bodyboarder, I love this! Met Jeff back when I was a kid in Oahu 🤙

It’s nuts that Hubb doesn’t feel like he can necessarily get his waves anymore, dude is a pioneer of that double up zone. Jamie let’s get him back in the pack

So you just got Jeff hub on a podcast getting questions from Stewart this was so epic gotta listen to this a couple times

Respect for your respect J.O.B. 🎉 As the top dog at Pipe, it's so awesome you make space in this world for the other rippers and daredevils that love to boogie! I was in the most chill line up yesterday as the only bodyboarder, and everyone was so respectful I couldn't believe my luck. We can ALL enjoy the waves if we have the skill to harness them ❤🙌✨️🤙

Jeff kept saying Stoked 😂 thanks for having my favourite bodyboarder of all time on the podcast 🤙🏽

Love this podcast so much. Whether you prefer stand up surfing, bodyboarding, or body surfing, it’s all about being amongst the waves. Waterman lifestyle 🤙🌊

Such a cool interview, thanks J. Hubbard and JOB! 🙏🔥

Absolutely fantastic podcast. Great guests and the bond you all share us genuine. Thank you brother Jamie!!!

Jeff is a true legend and he still shreds!

Thxxxxxxx Jamie and Jeff for the fire collab conversation, stories, and experience!!!!!

So Excited so watch this RN so excited for this your the BEST Jamie!!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Thanks for having a boogie on! Jeff is a great representative of the boog, such a genuine dude.

Thanks Jamie, He's absolutely insane! No one catches more air then Jeff!

Epic discussion! Well worth the watch. Props to Hubb, Jamie and all the callers in.

Great interview, both surfers stoked about surfing, Pipe and living the dream. Cheers

Another awesome podcast! Thanks Jamie & Jeff 🏄🏄

This is the one I’ve been waiting for 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

My first session at pipe was February 2007 when Jeff won his first world title! I’ll never forget the experience!!

Well put Jeff! I think that is a great synopsis of where Bodyboarding is currently and great explanations of the differences in how each type of board reacts to Pipe. Thank you Jamie for having Jeff on the JOB Podcast!

It's good to see my two fav surfers talking about the best sport in the world.bodyboaring.

Great video. It covered so many elements of surfing vs bodyboarding. Cheers.

Watching guys like Tanner McDaniel or Sammy Moretino doing huge ARS or backflips at spots like the Wedge freaks me out. I'm with Jeff, almost the same age, and anytime I have an opportunity to do something nuts close to shore where you could break something I back off. Don't need the glory of landing something sick in a crazy dangerous wave, I prefer going easy and being able to surf the next day.

This was awesome thanks Jamie!

Excellent! Thank you JOB and Jeff.

Really good pod guys! Thank you Jamie and Jeff for putting Bodyboard out there. Keep onn the good work !

This was really interesting! Makes me wanna order a fresh new Boogie.

Great convo.. Thanks JOB!

I remember when I first saw he had a RU-vid channel after watching Who Is JOB episodes for years! Keep it up man!🤙🤙

Love this man ❤ real talk for real surfers

A truly enjoyable hour. Thank you👊👊

Thanks job for always giving pump to bodyboard !! Jeff is an excellent rider one of the best air surfers of all rhe times !!

Whoa! So stoked for this one!!

Bring Spencer Skipper on for some big island bodyboard stories.

great to get legends from all crafts on the podcast, hubb is all time! evergreen!

Awesome episode 🤙🏻🔥

Yeah Jeff! Rad you got him on your podcast Jamie! Thank yeww

As a surfer who bodyboarded a bit growing up my fav bodyboarders 1 Eppo 2 Stewart 3 Hubbard.

hubbard the legend !

You fella's have got it right about smaller waves catching you out. Less space between surface and bottom aswell as less time to react and most times mucking around. Bodyboarding a small reef break almost on the beach as day had no swell. Mate and I just having good time when about a 2 footer came in when whole day 1 or less. I was stoked took off with mate on beach and wanted to make it look classic, so went straight about 2 meter's infront of wave and when trying to bottom turn there wasn't enough water under me, board and legs caught on bottom(sharp limestone with heaps of pinnacles. It stopped me and got dragged face backwards up and over falls landing directly on pinnacle which snapped off couple cm into my kneecap. My face arms legs were torn open. I've surfed over 10ft Box and others bigger and never ripped apart like that. Looked like my bone was sticking out of kneecap but ended up being reef. Had to get cut out in surgery. Keep ripping fella's Avagud1

Amazing !!

Awesomeness greaaaaaat interview!!!!!!!!

This was great!

Jamie, just wondering if you would interview Johnny Boy Gomez.??? That would be unbelievable..

Jeffs the man, awesome boards, fins and leashes best stuff I've used

BODYBOARD LIVES ! thx job for this, cheers from brasil

Great cast! Awesome listening to a couple legends sharing your wealth of knowledge and experiences! Super psyched homies! 🤙on my way to go watch those videos of you guys throwin down on the boogie boards! Yup I’m in my 40s! It’s boogie! JOB you have one more bday and then you just have to accept it! You’re from the boogie board age! 🤣 🤙

finaly a collabe between bodyboards and ssurfing

Boogie boogie boogie! Maybe get Mike and Ben on eventually too!

Awesome. Respect

Really enjoyed this positive high-vibe conversation. Thanks guys Ps. Re bodyboarders/surfers animosity: I grew up surfing a ‘not-so-secret spot’. I was the only bodyboarder in the pack. I started surfing when I used to hear the groans and frustration from the surfers out back, when we could see 5 bodyboards walking down the cliff, having all arrived in one car. Then another rent-a-crowd would turn up. Whereas surfers for some reason seemed to travel solo or in pairs which didn’t cause a problem. But the spongers were all of an ok standard, not kooks, so I see this being about respect rather than an inferior sport.

a legend

2 legends

Legends 🤙

I just subscribed so good Man

Legend!!!! Bring Botha too!!!

Jeff is the man!

NICE JOB

The goat Jeff

Really interesting ans cool.

LEGENDARY!!!!!!

Slater attempting the Rodeo at Pipe came from a conversation with Eppo, Slater aske Eppo if he thought it was possible on a stand-up & Eppo replied by saying "you would need to grab the rails"..

3 ft super shallow reef. DK barrel. Hit a dry AF section, the barrel warped and pitched me over the falls onto dry reef. Scared up back, smashed off coral heads with my back. Small days on shallow reefs can be gnarly too.

I kept trying to hit the like button

Mahalo for the name drop Jaime!! I’ll never forget YOU beating me at nationals. Still burns, but super stoked for you! I would be happy to catch up with you to chat about it on your podcast if you do another boogie boarding show. Much Aloha!! - Jesse

True legends 🤙🏻🤙🏻

His Airness Jeff Hubbard ❤

Get Eli Olson on the pod!!!

Would be badass if you had Mike Stewart on! I would be psyching out of my mind! Jeff is a legend too!

That was probably one of the coolest things in bodyboarding history.

Shout-out to Jamie for bringing bodyboarders on... Nice one

Jeff has great products and customer service. Good interview

How about a pod cast of Jack ‘da ripper’ Lindholm?

Hubb is the man!!

I remember seeing the crazy airs at pipe that Jeff was flying back in the day and thinking what planet did he come from? He took it to an entirely different level.

Loving the inclusive attitude from JOB and others towards boogs. It's all about the stoke.

Legends

Hey Jamie… gr8 interview… Qn for Jeff… does he make tandem boogie boards? Always gr8 to be two up on a wave.

Mike Stewart interview has got to be on the cards 🤙
