I'm with you entirely.

I just think Hubb is too solid. He seems to handle the pressure better than anyone

That said, I'll be cheering for Hardy

Hubb will win it because he is without doubt the best, most consistant rider in the world. Absolutely deserves it.

The Fronton comp can make anything happen.
Though, I think Hubb's got this one in the bag. He has been so consistent all year and surfing so well. I also think Hardy has a really good chance. PLC too.

If Hubb or Hardy win the tour (good chance that will happen), I get a nice $500 payout, put a bet on both of them to win the tour back in April. Not that that's the entire reason I want them to both take it out, but both competitors truly deserve it.

Bring on the Canaries!

Where are all you anti - competition naysayers now!? About 2 years ago I posted my belief in the value and necessity of competition to legitimize the bodyboarding industry. Was pretty much flamed by people in this forum. So where is the main focus of bodyboaring now?! It's the IBA and the world tour. Just as I predicted. Not much else matters now. And that's the way it should be.
You were wrong eh Conjob!?????

Very delayed burn there... (and given Conjob's long absence, probably slightly ineffective! Although if you do read it Conjob, how's it going?!)
