Pablo Muñoz, our best promise of Spanish Bodyboarding and member of our “
1.- Pipeline
Pipeline is a wave found on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. It is a sharp reef bottom breaker, and having this bottom breaks with great power and perfection. She is the queen par excellence, great bodyboarders such as Mike Stewart, a pioneer of bodyboarding, or Jeff Hubbard, one of the best bodyboarders today, have been formed in this wave. In this wave there are many places, people who catch that wave daily and who must have the utmost respect and wait their turn.
2.- The Fronton.
El Frontón is a wave found in Galdar, Gran Canaria. It is one of the most powerful waves on Earth since it has a rocky bottom, apparently made "to measure", since it is a circular plate of rock that makes the wave break with good shape. It is a wave reserved for bodyboarders, since it has a very extreme descent that would be practically impossible to go down with a surfboard. Canarian bodyboarders are so good thanks to this wave practically, since it is a wave similar to a "skatepark", with ramps that allow you to fly at a high altitude.
3.- Teahupoo
Teahupoo is a wave found in Tahiti, French Polynesia. It is one of the most dangerous and longest waves in the world. It breaks on a reef bottom which makes it even more dangerous. More than one person has died in this wave since the most mutant days this wave has no mercy. The peak is usually packed with both surfers and bodyboarders, who enjoy great drops in the air, barrel shots and the occasional wipeout.
4.- Shark Island
