Azza's Fluidzone Interview

Our main DK man in Cronulla has been turning lots of heads lately, especially with his crazy antics out some big, heavy Shark Island. Below is an interview that Doc from Fluidzone had with Azza recently.

Hey Azza, You've been making moves to push your DK riding. What's the main thing you're trying to achieve?
AG: Well! I'm just about finished on my 4 yr hospitality apprenticeship, which has been well worth it, but I've felt that my love for body boarding was out weighing my career as a chef. To be honest, I want to be the best in the world at drop knee. I work really close to Cronulla beach, so on my 2 and a ½ hr break, I'm always out the island, or anywhere local that's firing.

FZ: Do you only surf Shark Island and the Cronulla area?
AG: I surf the area a lot! Why wouldn't I? It has so much to offer, but the beaches have a bad reputation for being weak and sloppy most of the year.
On a good day though, it has potential to be one of the best beaches in NSW in my opinion ( especially the

Hubb wins Puerto Pro, Hardy Second!

PUERTO ESCONDIDO, Oaxaca / Mexico (Saturday, Aug 13, 2011) - Jeff Hubbard (HAW) has won his second IBA Grand Slam event of the year, in massive 10-12 foot surf at Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Hubbard, took out Ryan Hardy (Margaret River/AUS) in the Final, to win the 2011 AGIT/Turbo Zicatela Pro, presented by Found Boards, ID Boards and Colorada Surf.

Jeff Hubbard managed to defeat his brother Dave Hubbard (HAW) in the Quarter-finals, setting him up against an in-form Pierre-Louis Costes (Capbreton/FRA). Costes, picked off some incredible tube rides, but was unable to exit a particular one, that may have seen him through to the Final.

Costes commented: "10-12 foot Puerto for a contest, it does not get any better! To have a competition in this, gets me so amped. I'm so proud to be a bodyboarder these days."
