We are stoked to announce the official launch of IBC Beyond the Tour, the brand-new video podcast designed to bridge the gap between the raw soul of bodyboarding and the heat of competition.
In our very first episode, host Paul Benco chops it up with South African powerhouse and two-time world champ, Tristan Roberts. Coming hot off a massive W at the IBC Morocco Pro, Tristan isn’t holding back—he’s giving us the real talk on what it actually takes to stay at the top of the food chain in this sport.
Inside the Mind of a Champion
We’re diving deep into the headspace of a winner. Tristan opens up about how he balances the grind of systematic contest prep with the pure, unfiltered stoke of free surfing.
He also busts the biggest myth in the pro scene: True confidence doesn’t come from some fancy pre-heat ritual. According to Tristan, it comes from the “boring” stuff—the relentless repetition, the daily grind, and the hours nobody sees.
The Future & The Legacy
The conversation gets real when we talk about the next generation. What can the pros do to inspire the kids coming up? Plus, we get the scoop on:
- Tristan’s chase for a third world title.
- His upcoming passion film project.
- The legacy he wants to leave behind in the water.
“We created this project so you can get to know the athletes, the idols, and the movers and shakers of our sport on a personal level. We hope you enjoy the ride.” — The IBC Team
