Male competitors include defending champ Ezekiel Lau, Oahu’s Eala Stewart and Keanu Asing, Kauai’s Kaimana Jaquias, California’s Coffin brothers, Costa Rica’s Carlos Muñoz, Peru’s Cristobal de Col, Italy’s Leonardo Fioravanti, Japan’s Takumi Yasui, and second generation names like Curren, Beschen, Moniz, McNamara, Sarlo, Aikau and Rothman. Under the radar all competition, Ian Crane slashed his way to the top making his first ever final in pro junior competition. Feeling no pressure, Ian went on to grab an early back up score before heading out the back. To his luck, the wave of the final breached to his position. Ian’s technical backhand attack earned him an 8.5 and with the ocean going silent shortly after, Crane has flown straight into his first ever pro junior victory.
