The ASP World Longboard Tour was in Italy recently,…. and as you can imagine there was a serious lack of waves in the Mediterranean! They finally moved the event to Andora, 180kms NW of the main event site in Levanto, where they got some small 1-2ft waves. The event was won by Kai Sallas (Hawaii) and the overall Longboard Tour was won by Taylor Jensen of the USA. Ben Skinner, our UK champion, was joint 11th overall. The Triple Crown is the next event starting on the 25th November in Sunset Beach, Hawaii. Watch it here live.

As a result he has been disqualified from the ASP World Tour. Read the ASP news story here. This is not the first time Bobby has ‘said it as he sees it’. In an interview in 2010 he lets rip about his likes and dislikes!
