The competition will be the first Grand Slam of the year for the Women World Tour giving out 1500 points. With a $30.000 prize money and 1100 points for the men on the world tour ranking the competition stand as the most important non grand slam of the 2010 tour.

The City of Búzios is located 180km from Rio de Janeiro and is one the prettiest cities of Brazil. With excellent waves, and a very intense cultural/nightlife the city offers a variety of options that satisfies all tastes.

The riders already can book their accommodation at the Tangarás Hotel. It’s located only 300 meters from the competition and has the best rates of the City. Competitors will pay around $57 on the double room, with air condition and breakfast.

VISA
Some countries need a VISA to come to Brazil. So be aware and double check before booking your flight.

In the next days the official website will be online bringing all the information regarding the competition.

Further information contact Flavio Brito at flavio@ibaworldtour.com or 55 21 8855-1774 mobile.

Due to lack of sponsorship, IBA has confirmed there will be no Pipe comp for this years Womens World Tour.

Hello Girls,

Just wanted to inform you all that now its official that there won’t be a Girls Pipeline counting for the 2010 IBA Tour. Betty will run her event in one day in April along with long board and short board. Now we need to focus the 2011 tour so that we can bring Pipeline back to the tour even better and stronger.

With this, the first event for the Woman division will be Brazil in late April and beginning of May. In the next weeks I will be sending out all the information about those events. We are details away to a 100% confirmation.

Regards,
Flavio Brito

Confital went down once again, proving to be “the battle of who chocks the least”. Jessica could have claimed the world title if she won the comp, but alas her young rival Isabella Sousa took the comp, giving Neymara another world title. Does it feel like history repeating?
The IBA media department have so far been unable to put the official press release on their site, perhaps they are still nursing their hangovers or waking up in hospital after getting their stomach pumped?
In the mean time we will look at the final standings. It was the year of Aussies only doing one comp leaving Lilly the highest ranked at 44. Next year people, next year.

The Womens World Title race is set to have an entertaining finish with early leader Eunate Aguirre being pegged back by the Brazilian duo of Neymara Carvalho and Jessica Becker.

The grand slam system makes the race quite interesting as seen here Jessica actually has the best Grand Slam Results but is lagging in the other events category, this may indeed be her down fall.

Reminder it is BEST 3 GRAND SLAMS,BEST 2 OTHER. Lumar has confirmed Venezuela as $15000US so it is 1000 points, Confital
is the final Grand Slam and worth 1500 points. The dates for Confital are December 1-6 with check-in November 30th.
