APB North America
For years competitive bodyboarding has been in the hands of our "Surfing" counter parts. As such, APB North America was formed to rebuild the competitive side of bodyboarding in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
​
Our entire organization is built by, and for, bodyboarders in an effort to create a springboard for North American athletes to compete at the highest levels of international competition.
Beyond that APB North America also helps with the development of smaller local events and regional tours in an effort to reach out and build the sport from the ground up.
