Eunate Aguirre, Bodyboard World Champion

EUNATE AGUIRRE Foto_edubartolome_com FIRMADA

The Bilbao girl  was proclaimed world champion after a thrilling final in the Azores.

Sunday, November 27th  saw the Championship final for the Women's World Bodyboard title in which Eunate won for the first time, defeating the Brazilian Isabella Sousa. After many years of effort and sacrifice in the high competition she finally broke the curse of eternal second.

Eunate Aguirre started bodyboaring at the young age of eleven years while playing with friends on the beach. In 1995, she entered into competitions for the first time in a rising interclubs. She took second place, thus kicking off the beginning of this bodyboarder’s unstoppable career.

                                                                                                                                             
Since then Eunate hasn’t stopped taking international titles, twice European Junior Champion 1998-1999 and 1999-2000. Europe became her launch pad and she is now looking at the next step: the world circuit.

"5 more minutes...pleaaassee"

Besides a tight competition schedule, some of my ROXY teammates and I have been able to film for an all women snowboard movie last winter... Conny and Sophie from Lipstick Productions did a great job making this film possible. Although my part from minute `26:30 is quite emotional and shows the "dark" side of this sport, I hope you are having fun watching it! Because snowboarding is fun....a looot of fun!

1st place at the Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam.

THE PLEASURE JAM

So I headed out to Hintertux on Monday and linked up with Mark Ruparelia, Henry Jackson and Cheryl Maas!

The weather was not so good in Tux, so Cheryl and I bailed to Dachstein to ride the sick set up there!

The Pleasure Jam Semi’s went down yesterday…

Here is one run from practice. Hopefully getting some more footage from the finals, but for now enjoy this…

 Semi’s went down yesterday morning and I qualified through to the 4 women super finals with Cheryl Maas, Sarka Pancochova and Cilka Sadar.

In the finals I put a run down of a cab underflip 5, a backside 3 and a backside rodeo 5 to a switch boardslide over the rainbow.

Here is a picture of one of my back rodeo’s, thanks to Weaver, he got the money shot. Check the GOOD LIFE… blog for a rad update on the whole event! with pics and a review on the girls riding! 

I finished up in 1st place, so stoked my 1st TTR win, all the girls on the Podium. :)

Girls
1. Aimee Fuller
2. Cilka Sadar
3. Sarka Pancochova

Also props go out to Mathias Weissenbacher, one of the Quiksilver boys came in 3rd!

and Cheryl Maas with the best trick. Back 7 tail.

Thanks to everyone from the event! Such a good time.

Aimee Fuller Wins TTR 4* Pleasure Jam

What a great weekend start to the winter season for the Roxy Snow Team! Aimee Fuller the UK Roxy ripper rode her way to a well deserved 1st place in the 9th annual TTR 4* Pleasure Jam slopestyle contest. Aimee had been riding really well throughout the training with a cab 540 underflip to backside 720 to heelside Rodeo combination that was impressing everyone. Aimee stuck to her run and came out on top, infront of Cilka Sadar and Sarka Pankochova. Great job Aimee!

Aimee will head to the US with the other Roxy riders very soon to get some more training in there before the next competition.

Here is Aimee practiing her flips into the powder last season! The proctice paid off!!

The Winter Season is upon us!

Well the leaves are either all on the ground already or are getting ready to drop off the trees, and the first snow falls have fallen accross the mountains in Europe. A few weeks ago we got the new season off to a great start on the Roxy Future Team Camp in Saas Fee where 14 girls from 8 different countries got together to get their legs ready for the season kick off.

Check out the podcast from the Roxy Future Team Camp. It was a very fun week! The comp season kicks off this weekend at the Pleasure Jam in Dachstein. Watch this space to see how the Roxy team does!
