Aoi Koike shines at Pipe

posted on 21st February 2008

The girls were in awesome form today at Pipe as the 2008 Pipe Women's Pro came to a close.

In perfect 4-6 feet surf the world's best women put on a dazzling display of committed Bodyboarding in front of a big crowd.

The final was a see-sawing event as the lead changed hands several times but in the end Japanese rider Aoi Koike was just too good and outclassed Portugal's Rita Pires with Hawaiian's Claudia Ferrari and Leila Alli third & fourth.

After a miscommunication with the IBA and the local Hawaiian organisers,
we almost did not have the 19th year of the Pipeline contest for women bodyboarders. However, after lots of work and support of the AWB and Banzai Productions, the contest went ahead, but instead of an IBA World Tour event, it was now competed as a USBA national tour event.

32 girls from around the world battled it out for the 1000 points of the start of the USBA - USA national tour and $4000.00 in prize money.
