"The freshest action sports tour in the USPicture The USBA is the result of a joint effort to bring back a National Title Tour to the USA. The first crack at a National Tour was set in motion in early 2005. Events were set up by Corey Correa ( Co-Founder of The IBA Hawaii), Shawn Backus (Co- Founder of the BIA Tour, CA) and Jason Bitzer (Founder of The Jenkinsons’s Pro, NJ). With successful events in each region, bodyboarding had embarked on a new era, gaining new ground as well as a new National Champion in Jeff Hubbard (HI). The original plan, between the three regions, was to get a few years under the tour''s belt and feel out which direction the tour should move. This was the original plan, but plans changed very quickly as a heavy flow of mainstream corporate companies took notice of the East Coast leg of the tour. Names like Marriott, Sobe, Big Blue Marble, Verizon Wireless and Rock Star video games all took to the image of bodyboarding in the Northeast and partnered with the Jenkinson’s Pro. This event became a success over night, with mainstream media and sponsors on par with mainstream sports. This event became part of an East Coast one-two knock out combination. The Rockstar Games NYBB Pro in Long Island, NY was blessed with great waves and great sponsors as well. This made for an amazing two-weekend stretch of bodyboarding competition in the Northeast Region. The 2005-year ended in late-September, after another great event at Seaside Reef in California. With the last buzzer sounding, and the conclusion of competition, it was time to begin planning of the 2006 season and the future of both the pro and amateur world of US bodyboarding!"
