Spain has a deep, powerful stoke unlike anything we have ever experienced. The land, the people, the food... oh man, the food! Alvaro Bajo is one of the amazing people we met on a short trip to Mallorca. The way we understand it, Bajo means 'down' and Alvaro does just that - he goes downhill, fast. We had so much fun, we left Alvaro with a new Rayne Vandal and he sent us some fresh footage on his new top mount.

IBA 2012 Pipe Challenge
Event 1 of 8, Mens Grand Slam Series
Pipeline, Oahu, Hawaii
Feb 15-24th, 2012

Saturday, 18th February 2012, Ehukai Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii -In an attempt to retain her world title at the end of last year, she went for an air roll spin over dry rocks and injured herself so badly she had to be helped out the water and could not surf for a month. Now, fully recovered, Isabela Sousa, the 2010 world champion from Brazil, won the Women's 2012 IBA Pipe Challenge today, in fun three to four foot waves. "It's my first final here at Pipe and it's my first win here. It's pretty incredible. I'm so happy", said Sousa.
En route to the final the bubbly Brazilian won every heat. In her semi-final heat- already in the lead- she took off on a set wave, raced into the bowl at Pipe and landed a technical air roll spin. She won her semi-final by such a margin her opponents needed to replace both of their scoring waves.
In the final, Sousa defeated fellow Brazilians, Neymara Carvalho --the defending champion- and Karla Costa-Taylor- a three times Pipe champion- as well as Japan's Minami Hatakeyama, a finalist in last year's event too.
As the only non-Hawaiian in today's dropknee final, South African, Sacha Specker, was a clear underdog. He had been in a final twice before but never tasted victory, until today. He sat slightly wide of the Hawaiians and went about picking off waves that were running along the inside reef at Pipe. "It's an incredible feeling winning this event. It's a bit of a dream still. I think it'll kick in tomorrow, when we play the Aussies in cricket", said Specker.
The Hawaiians, Miles Kauhaahaa, Bud Miyamoto and Kainoa Mcgee, put on great performances in the rounds leading up to the final, weaving their ways through the tricky barrels at Backdoor and Pipe. Kauhaahaa rode the highest scoring wave of the event- a long barrel at Backdoor. Miyamoto had the highest scoring wave of the final-a long deep barrel at Pipe- punctuated with a cutback that threw buckets of spray over the back of the wave. He was unable to find a back up wave and came second to Specker by 3.91 points.
