2008 ISA WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!
The professional tandem team of Chuck Inman and Tiffany Rabacal live in Waikiki and currently hold the title of International Surfing Association (ISA) World Champions - the sport's top achievement. They train around Oahu year round, but consider Queens in Waikiki as their home break.
Partnering together in February 2007, Chuck and Tiffany quickly climbed the ranks of international tandem surfing to finish 2nd at the 2007 ISA World Title of Tandem Surfing and 3rd on the International Tandem Surfing Association (ITSA) World Tandem Tour (WTT). Competing on the WTT has taken them to Maui (Ho'okipa), California (Huntington Beach), Australia (Noosa), Spain (Liencres), and of course Oahu (Waikiki).
Actively competing on the WTT will remain on hold for now as it has been since early 2008. Despite this tough decision, Chuck and Tiffany finished in the Top 5 on the 2008 WTT while only competing in two out of five qualifying events that whole year.
For 2009, Chuck and Tiffany are focused on defending their title to make history and become the first team to win back-to-back, sanctioned World Titles. In the meantime, they continue to charge seasonal swells on The North Shore and Makaha during the winter months for fun and the occasional photo shoot. Continue to keep an eye out for them this year!
ISA WORLD TITLE OF TANDEM SURFING
(August 20-23, 2008)
The ITSA/ISA sanctioned World Title of Tandem Surfing was held at Queens Beach in Waikiki. The newly formed Hawaii Tandem Surf Association produced the 6* event that attracted 24 qualifying teams from Hawaii, California, Florida, France, and Costa Rica. While the contest was also a stop on the ITSA World Tandem Tour, the ISA World Title is a single event world championship that is by far the most prestigious and highly contested title in the sport. Thank you for cheering on Waikiki's home team! (more...)
