In our first episode, host Paul Benco sat down with the current IBC world #1, Tristan Roberts. For this second installment, Paul catches up with one of the absolute goats of our sport—a living legend who’s always been an icon and a true symbol of global bodyboarding.

Jeff Hubbard, born in Ewa Beach, Hawaii 49 years ago, is a 3-time World Champ. He’s been charging his favorite wave, Pipeline, for 30 years and has spent 36 years dedicated to his biggest passion: bodyboarding. Jeff keeps showing the world that age is just a number; he’s in better shape than ever. He’s an athlete who has leveled up the sport across multiple generations, known for pioneering air moves, crushing the lip in critical sections, and being insanely versatile—shredding in all conditions and on both sides.

But more than anything, it’s his personality that stands out. He’s a great friend, a total family man, and always stays stoked and grateful. Without a doubt, Jeff is a role model through and through.
