Things are shaping up very nicely indeed for the first ever IBA World Tour event in Peru and Jose’ Ugarte and his team are very excited to showcase some of the waves that this part of the world has to offer.
” There are a few different venues that we believe can be used for the contest” says Jose’
” And all of them are perfect for bodyboarding. We already have some of the world best riders confirmed and the whole of Lima already is talking about the contest”” The cost of staying here is only a few dollars per night and the food is very cheap so this will be good for the competitors” added Jose’
