It was also a highlite to see this coveted award go to JB from Naish (now ex Naish) on the weekend.

Not only can he claim to have introduced Paddle Surfing to the MAMBO WAVE CLASSIC (its all his fault apparently), but he was also a key influencer in getting a lot of us into the sport.

Based on the fact that the guy rips both on a StandUP and on a kite board and the fact that he is renowned for going hard on-and-off the beach, means it was a deserved win.

It is a sad loss to both sports that he has moved on IMO!

Respect!
