There's only one mission here at Freak Fest.... good times! My name is Manny and I've been fortunate to travel the world along side my compadres. Since that first trip to a foreign country, I've been hounding my friends to get bit by the travel bug. I found a way to make it easy for them to enjoy some of what the world has to offer. After a two year hiatus, I resurrected Cameron Steele's fun factory... Cabo Freak Fest. Cabo San Lucas is so close yet so different. But it's the perfect place to hold a gathering. A cultural adverture. You will return home a new person after a Freak Fest trip. Are you ready to have the time of your life? Are you ready to break away from the daily routine? Browse through the site and join me and others in Cabo and Bali this year. -MV

Event #7 of the IBA Hawaii Pro Tour, proved to be all about the “stash” as in mustache; Sandy Beach provided the contestants with 2-3 ft. wind swell, coming out of the Southeast and a nice and sunny 89 degree day. Over 80 of Hawaii’s top Professional & Amateur bodyboarders congregated to Half Point to show their skills. Starting at 7:30 am, the Pro’s were the first to take to the water, taking advantage of the early morning high tide. Hollow left’s and right’s were very well ridden by all, but the early round standouts were Ikaika Villa, David Hubbard, Wade Asato, Jeff Hubbard, Josh Wills, the Romero Brothers, Jacob & Jonah and Happy Zurowski. When noon came around, the lower tide exposed much of Half Points very sharp and shallow reef, Jonah Romero’s LMNOP board had a nice encounter with the reef, which tore deep into the slick plastic bottom. As the day moved on, the higher tide had come in and the riders were busting huge on all sections, some of the days top maneuvers were Jacob Romero’s ARS to Spin to Rollo combo, getting him the first “10” of the event, Jeff Hubbard’s huge Air(s) and David’s (Hubbard) silky smooth Drop Knee floater into “Pipelittles”. When it was all said and done, the person left standing was the man sporting his new “Stash” David Hubbard, winning both the Pro Open and DK Open Divisions; during his acceptance speech, he thanked his new mustache for both wins. I’d like to thank all the sponsors who has help make this event possible, Custom X, Mike Stewart Inc., Manta, LMNOP, BSD, Viper Surfing Fins, Kicks Fins, ROT Magazine, Option Magazine, Crysis Magazine, 662mob.com and Honolulu Bodysurfing Club. I hope to see you all at our Championship Event November 6-7; the venue is still to be announced, please log on to www.ibahawaii.com for further details.

PRESS RELEASE: ABA Wrighsville Beach Pro/AM sponsored by Custom X, Cartel, Viper, Savage and DVO

The ABA hosted contest # 3 at the Crystal Pier in Wrightsville Beach, NC and had the biggest turn out since the restart of the tour last year. 16 Pro's battled it out for the $1000 cash purse with $500 going to the winner. Waves held in 2-4' range throughout the day with stiff offshores testing the stability of the tents all day long.
Almost everybody got caught by the traffic from the local Tri-Athalon on the way to the contest area so things got off to a late start but,by then the swell was starting to show up a little more.
The Pro Final was Ricky Miller and TJ Bonanno from Vah Beach, Wrightsville Beach local former ESA All-star Paul Loukas and Brazilian Jean Ferreira who now lives and studies in New York. Jean had ripped all his prelims but could'nt get a rythm and ended up 4th with $100 just behind Ricky Miller and his $150 who looked out of sync as well. Paul and TJ looked like the ones to beat all day with both guys picking off the best waves and taking them the distance. In the end TJ barely squeeked out the win taking the $500 bones with it, Paul got a cool $250 for his efforts in the closest heat of the day. Oversized checks make everbody smile !
Drop-Knee final was hottly contested with the old skoolers showing up to support the cause. Longtime one knee rippers from Va Beach Frankie Collins and John Yax dominated the final taking 1st and 2nd respectively while out gunning usual dk podium toppers Ryan Rhodes in 3rd and TJ Bonanno 4th.
Pro runner-up Paul Loukas had enough gas in the tank to take the Mens Final as well outlasting Vah Beacher Mike Ziener 4th and OBXers Dan Cera 3rd and Ryan Rhodesn 2nd. It was good to see a local boy fair well and Paul definetly let everybody know who he was and he had skills.

Unfortunetly the Menehune's final had to deal with the town drunk flailing through the line-up in an attempt to skimboard and get noticed. That's until the idiot finally looked up and realized there were about 6 people eyeing him up and he was about to get choked-out if he kept on. None of which went noticed at all by the hard charging group in the water who had there own hands full with the fun little pealers rolling through. Anthony Delcarpini from Va. Beach showed the boys how it was done pullin in some barrels and finishing with some clean 360's to seal the win. Cory Howell from WB placed 2nd and showed he is a force to be reconed with when he wooed the crowd with his multiple stand-up and belly 360's Cory even entered the mens open and knocked somebody off in that heat as well. Eric Ellisburg and Thomas Hanna followed there leads up with 3rd and 4th.
Junior Men was once again dominated by OBXer James Joyce who is undefeated in that division, Jeremy Meikle (3rd) and Jared Cera(2nd) were hot on his heels.
And we were finally able to run a Womens final when top Brazailian female Roberta Pinheiro, who is studying for the semester in Conneticut showed up and challenged WB local Shea Lindon for the ladys crown. Both riders ripped but it was Roberta's 360 and El rollo combo's that outpointed Shea 's Dk attack. Way to go ladies !!
Masters was dominated by the Brazilians. Jean Ferreira continued doing what got him to the Pro Final and edged Siekiti Shinmon(2nd) Eric Anderson(3rd) had a nice stand-up but a low wave count Bob Hovey had a game plan but could get the waves he need and finished 4th.

Overall the event was a big success we had fun waves and the turn-out is getting better with each event Pro and Amatuer. Custom X and Cartel gave out Sick boards to the winners Viper gave swinfins, Savage Clothing flowed T's and Vid's, DVO and Bob n Tanya Hovey provided super nice trophies from Bali once again. I want to thank everybody who helped out setting up and breaking down and in any other way like judging or changing the flags upon request it goes along way. Hats off Ricky Miller who hooked a whole crew up with styley and cheap hotel rooms, also to the Brazalian crew for taking a Bus all night long to be there and to everybody else who made the tripno matter how far. With out your efforts to show up compete and support the ABA none of this happens. Keep showing up cause we promise its gonna get better !! Ray
