Mitch Rawlins won

The Box, Western Australia (Saturday, 31st Mach 2012) Mitch Rawlins (AUS/Gold Coast) has taken out the 2012 IBA Box Pro. The Box turned on for the final day of competition, providing powerful 6-8 foot waves over the shallow reef. Originally from Queensland, Ralwins has spent a large portion of his bodyboarding career chasing waves and honing his skill here in the Western Australia's south west.
Throughout the event, Rawlins combined tube rides with high flying aerial maneuvers to rack up excellent scores and had South Africa's Mark McCarthy in a combination situation for 26 minutes of the 30 minute final. McCarthy fought back in a last ditch effort, but was still counting a 2.5 as a second scoring ride and ran out of time before he could find the required score of an 8.25 for the win.
After being carried up to the podium by his friends, Rawlins choked back tears as he thanked his family for their support.
"The guys were going so hard," Rawlins said. "It was a grueling contest, but I am having fun now. You rock up at each event, hoping for the best and you don't realize until you win how good it is to win an event like this. It is pretty special.
Hopefully I can get on track and compete with all the top guys at the end, which I guess is what you want when you are on tour."
This win has put Rawlins into tie 3rd place on the IBA Grand Slam Series (GSS) rankings.

IBA Box

THE SECOND EVENT on the 2011 International Bodyboarding Association (IBA) Grand Slam Tour will get underway in April at the infamous BOX in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. There was a point in time when The Box was once thought unrideable. Surfers would check Margaret River´s main break, occasionally casting a gaze north of the river mouth to catch a momentary glimpse of a thick, round barrel spitting into the channel. Too quick, too shallow, too dangerous; or so they thought.
