It’s the Pipeline Boog Jam inspired by Tom Morey and presented by Wexxle.

According to APB, “It’s official. The first ever Pipeline Boog Jam inspired by Tom Morey and presented by Wexxle will take place between the 24th of February and the 4th of March at what should be pumping Pipeline according to the long range forecast.”

The mechanics of the event have been revealed by Vert Magazine one year (read here) but know there’s the confirmation that will go down during the same waiting period of the ladies event – the 2022 Women’s Bodyboarding Championship.

The Boog Jam, althought, is a little different:

  • 40 riders split across 4 x 10 person expression session heats.
  • Each heat will have 55 minutes.
  • Top seeds in each heat are previous Pipeline champions, with the following champions confirmed: Mike Stewart, Guilherme Tâmega, Iain Campbell, Jeff Hubbard, Ben Severson, Dave Hubbard, Ryan Hardy, Paulo Barcellos and Andre Botha.
  • Video judging of the entire event (international remote judges).
  • No contest jerseys, just bodyboarding at its purest (prone, dropknee and stand up welcomed – open format).
  • Event film to be produced after the dust settles and winner announced in late March/early April.
  • Audience judging on rewards to riders for best barrel, best flip, best el rollo and more.

It’s a new approach to one of the sports most prestigious and longest running events. Get your registration done HERE.
