Ryan Hardy was knocked out of the 2011 World Title race by fellow countryman and friend Mitch Rawlins in Round Four of the 2011 Fronton Pro back in December. Ryan speaks about the event and his aspirations for 2012 in the latest clip from the International Bodyboarding Association.

“It seems like each time I become a contender and not pull it off, it’s like the knife goes in a little bit deeper. It enrages me just a little bit more so I think inevitably I’m gonna be even more fired up next year. Totally psyched for 2012!”

The first stop on the 2012 IBA World Tour is the Pipe Challenge from 15th to 24th February. Bring it on!
