35. Amaury Lavernhe
The
2010 Champ from Reunion Island is REAL good as a rider. Up to that point, all
world champions had been from Brazil, Hawaii, Australia or South Africa (which
only has one world champion). Amaury showed that growing up in a French
tropical island paradise can and will produce a phenom. A well rounded rider
who can bust in any condition, Amaury’s approach is deliberate to the point
where you see his eyes on a wave and you know what he wants to do.
34. Dave Hubbard
If
the secret of eternal life is joy and versatility, Dubb is a modern day sage.
His joie de vivre is second to none and his skills are insane, just barely
missing out last year on becoming the first bodyboarder to ever take out the
dropknee and prone events in a Grand Slam Event. He’s good in the barrel, he’s good in the
pocket, he’s good in the air, he’s good on the knee, he’s good standup and
let’s face it… the best claims in existence are his. It’s not that Fu-Manchu
would be proud of brother dub, it’s that cosmically speaking he is the fusion
between Fu-Manchu and Charlie Chaplin with the genetic talent from having a last name Hubbard.
33. Andrew Lester
Pocket
surfing isn’t easy… ask any rider… except Lester. The guy makes pocket surfing
look downright preschool easy. A standup guy with great style, he’s someone you
love to watch in big hollow surf just to see what he’ll put out of his ass and
make look too easy.
32. Stephanie
Peterson
Another
female Brazilian charging woman, Stephanie was part of an elite crew that
pushed women’s bodyboarding lightyears into the future, boosting, busting and
committing to critical maneuvers a lot of guys would shy away from. So how good was she? How good does winning Pipe six times make you?
31. Carol Philips
Big
wave female hell woman. She was the first woman to compete against guys in
Pipeline and to boot, she founded the World championship of Women’s
Bodyboarding. Think Billy Jean King in terms of impact in female sports, and
you get the idea of the importance of Carol Philips. As if that wasn’t enough,
she was appointed in 2005 to the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of
Women. There’s girl power… then there’s woman power. Carol embodies the latter.
