It's amazing that you can have this talk with Jeff. Please continue including bodyboarding and showing how rad this sport is.
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.
Gotta get Mike Stewart on the pod cast
Mike would be next level
I second that!
💯💯
Ya, he's in another philosophical place.... Would be super interesting
Shout-out to Jamie for bringing bodyboarders on... Nice one
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.
yeesssss!!
Bothas not nearly as polished as Hubbard, or Stewart, but will charge anything!
Dre would be great interview.
100000% also he went through heavy times after the titles, guy has a story to tell.
yeah .
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.
The first no-friends video was SICK. It changed my grommet life before I transitioned to surfing a few years later. Sponging taught me so much about the respect and ocean knowledge.
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🌊✌🏽🤙🏽
Majjorrr respect for anyone who can Stand up boogie well! One of my life goals lollll 🙌🤙
Travis sadino one of da best from big island to do it 🦾
No way hub is 47 .. the goat .. shows what a healthy lifestyle living around the water does 🤙🏽
Jamie is 39 and tbh doesn't look that flash for a dude who lives next to pipe and surfs for a living.
Keyword here is lifestyle. Hubb has been a yoga master and super disciplined in his conditioning, diet ect for 25+ years and for the entirety of his career. Plenty of people have talent without that level of discipline and age hard.
@@jonculpepper1471 thank you, makes sense.
Jeff and Dave Hubbard are legends. Hubb Bodyboard fins are the best on the market.
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. 👍🤟🤙
Bodyboarding.
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
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...
As an Oceanside boog rider from the same time period, who is white, I can only imagine what you endured. I know for me that being the outcast in almost every line up I rode a boog on made me stronger, and double down with my last dying breath that it's all about the stoke. I carry that attitude in life outside the water, and I can tell from your words you do too.
Much love from Spokane, Washington
Epic discussion! Well worth the watch. Props to Hubb, Jamie and all the callers in.
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
Thanks job for always giving pump to bodyboard !! Jeff is an excellent rider one of the best air surfers of all rhe times !!
This is the one I’ve been waiting for 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Absolutely fantastic podcast. Great guests and the bond you all share us genuine. Thank you brother Jamie!!!
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.
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
Love this man ❤ real talk for real surfers
Two of the greatest pipe legends together!! Legends Jamie and Jeff
Great convo.. Thanks JOB!
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 ❤🙌✨️🤙
a legend
As a primary bodyboarder, I love this! Met Jeff back when I was a kid in Oahu 🤙
Though I've dedicated the last 10-years to stand up, I'll always consider myself a bodyboarder at heart. I met Jeff too but at 40th Newport. Absolute legend! Been following him since my grom days in the late 90's.
So you just got Jeff hub on a podcast getting questions from Stewart this was so epic gotta listen to this a couple times
Jamie, just wondering if you would interview Johnny Boy Gomez.??? That would be unbelievable..
I would love to I already reached out
Pipeline Masters !! that would be UNBELIEVABLE interview ... Hopefully it happens... Good vibes
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! 🤣 🤙
I think the disrespect for bodyboarding came from the mainland. Hawaiians don’t discriminate against bodyboarders. It’s part of growing up there just like surfing. Hawaii also has waves that you can’t surf. Mainland surfers come from bad waves that are slow and not hard to surf. Also mainlanders have a superiority complex that is unwarranted. Kooks 100%
Hey Jamie… gr8 interview… Qn for Jeff… does he make tandem boogie boards? Always gr8 to be two up on a wave.
Whoa! So stoked for this one!!
Awesomeness greaaaaaat interview!!!!!!!!
I kept trying to hit the like button
This was really interesting! Makes me wanna order a fresh new Boogie.
literally samee homie
As a surfer who bodyboarded a bit growing up my fav bodyboarders 1 Eppo 2 Stewart 3 Hubbard.
I'd fuckin hate to be in a lineup with Jeff, Stewart, Jamie, John John, kalani chapman, maligro, Kelly Slater, tamega, Spencer, Tanner McDaniel, dorian, antipala, and Italo. I wouldn't get any waves.
Was in Bali with this guy.He booged. He had been in Hawaii the year before. He was not a great rider. He wanted to ride pipe. So he went out at pipe on a massive day. He sat out the back ad got onto a massive double reef wave. The wave then did what second reef pipe does and he was rescued and has a story he can tell to the end of time. But he said there was no way he was getting a wave at pipe unless he went out the back.
@@danb8877 who Jeff or JOB?
@@brockman562 nah just a random dude who figured the only way he was going to get a wave at pipe was get a wave at second reef
All the guys you named look for the best of the best sets theres actually still a lot of wave that roll through. If it's only at 1st reef there's 3 peaks to sit at and mostly everyone out are just bouys maybe 5% of the guys out are actually catching waves
It's good to see my two fav surfers talking about the best sport in the world.bodyboaring.
Figured there would be clips…especially cause this dude goes head first into what most people go feet first into.
Jeff kept saying Stoked 😂 thanks for having my favourite bodyboarder of all time on the podcast 🤙🏽
Get Eli Olson on the pod!!!
47?? i thought Hubbski was like early 30s haha guess surfing keeps ya young 🙏🤙🏻
Yeah Jeff! Rad you got him on your podcast Jamie! Thank yeww
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! 🙏🔥
How about a pod cast of Jack ‘da ripper’ Lindholm?
I remember when I first saw he had a TH-cam channel after watching Who Is JOB episodes for years! Keep it up man!🤙🤙
Loving the inclusive attitude from JOB and others towards boogs. It's all about the stoke.
All the insane maneuvers jeff has done over the shallowest reefs all around the world and a 1ft wave at sandys breaks his back….wtf
Jeff is a true legend and he still shreds!
Please get andre botha on 1 day as well
Bring Spencer Skipper on for some big island bodyboard stories.
Great interview, both surfers stoked about surfing, Pipe and living the dream. Cheers
I prefer Bodyboarding, the ariel's look sick backflips etc.
Boogie boogie boogie!
Maybe get Mike and Ben on eventually too!
Would be badass if you had Mike Stewart on! I would be psyching out of my mind! Jeff is a legend too!
In-case any of you are wondering how crazy bodyboarders can be. Here’s a link to some El Fronton action.

hubbard the legend !
💯📈
@@JamieOBrienJOB hey jamie , maybe one day you could get mike stewart on the pod ... love the show btw !!!!
@Progression Sessions agree 100! Mike's such a wave riding pioneer that gets accolades from everyone at Pipe and beyond. He's also the most winningest bodysurfer at Pipe. Do it Jamie!
@@progressionsessions99 I agree, he's one of the best watermen of all time. I want to hear his story about bodysurfing Teahupoo... when it was big too. A must interview.
I'd also really like to see one of the guys who has transitioned in terms of a pro career like Kanoa or Tahurai, who is one of Jamies good friends.
My first session at pipe was February 2007 when Jeff won his first world title! I’ll never forget the experience!!
Jeff is the man!
Love that you also post content featuring Jeff and the crew!
Saw you posted Jeff and the crew at the wave pool!
Thanks Jamie, He's absolutely insane! No one catches more air then Jeff!
finaly a collabe between bodyboards and ssurfing
Thanks for having a boogie on! Jeff is a great representative of the boog, such a genuine dude.
im a 14 year old bodyboarder tryna get sponsored by triad, sorry jeff but k a triad guy 😂, and everything jeff said was exactly as it is for me, swells dropping so time to come to sandys with me Uncle Jeff and Uncle Jamie
Another awesome podcast! Thanks Jamie & Jeff 🏄🏄
So Excited so watch this RN so excited for this your the BEST Jamie!!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
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
Excellent! Thank you JOB and Jeff.
2 legends
Respect the recognition of the selfishness of the two sports
there is no war. as you get better, grow, learn, you progress to standing just like a baby. some don't. at least as surfers we get speed. great speed, even if it's hard to get. you can't do that lying down haha
Chris got the best Cbd in the world 🙌🏼
Like#23. Thanks for the insight. Psyched
This was awesome thanks Jamie!
Pretty cool. Get Mike or tamegs on. Cunningham would be sick
Yeah, GT would be sick too. From world champ and now still lifeguarding at Pipe. It almost rattled me seeing him so casual in his lifeguard attire at Ehukai.
Thxxxxxxx Jamie and Jeff for the fire collab conversation, stories, and experience!!!!!
Hubb is the man, second to only Stewart .
Great video. It covered so many elements of surfing vs bodyboarding. Cheers.
I met this guy yesterday
I do both and if I’m honest i rarely see people bodyboarding properly (e.g. cutting the face) at my local. I think bodyboarding has made surfing far more accessible for people and its resulted in the line up getting crowded with people just going straight and dropping in. Especially during summer time.
For every one bodyboard kook there are 1000 kook surfers. It’s a numbers game.
Legends 🤙
This was fucking Awsome, I saw Jeff Hubbard the one time I scored pipe when it was solid and yea he was sitting inside everyone and it was 6-8 and a little bigger like triple overhead but it’s so true how they were talking about the smaller days there taking u out cause urless alert
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.
Gotta have Botha and also Tamega
I skate vert ramps, haven’t really been hurt doing that. All my injuries have occurred when I was messing around doing stupid crap in flat ground.
Yea you Kauai boy, rip Bob, yea JOB young small boy came down surf " Family...."🤙riding T&C
Respect to Jamie also didn't know he won bodyboarding comps lol.
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.
Awesome episode 🤙🏻🔥
Spongers have massive balls
Jeff and his dubb are maybe still the best in the world both over 40 dubb I think is 40 or about there
Legend!!!! Bring Botha too!!!
BODYBOARD LIVES ! thx job for this, cheers from brasil
The goat Jeff
My worst wipe out was sup surfing a big board the leash got wrapped round my neck whilst the board dragged me over the falls , not once but twice! So lucky I wasn't strangled and drowned, since then only the short boards and mid lengths come out the shed 😅😮🌊😮😮😮😂.
Hope you can have Iam Tongi on someday. He's the local boy on American Idol, he's fire!! Sadly, he and his family were "priced out of paradise" Let's get him back where he belongs!!
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.
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
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!
the best barrels I have ever had!I liked it a lot but would sometimes slide up on top & drop back in . I was complemented doing that but not what I was trying to do. Friends with the guys who started Pacific Sunwear my das played basketball & softball with & cards at The Place in Carona Del Mar. One day b a hunting trip I said worth as much as you guys have spent there you should own it. One of them Rick said I do. He bought it and does.Great Burgers thereI Then bought a Fluid Drive Quad from those guys and was very happy with it. When cutting back while going fast like it was on rails of a coaster! Holding onto the steep faces and inside the barrels very well to It could float well where there was some air in the water staying on top with a wider tail & a baby swallow.and standing on the sweet spot and not digging in so much like a tri fin. Was good getting speed
Amazing !!
