Our guest this week is one of Korea's brightest rising stars in surfing. He's one of the few athletes competing at a high level in both the shortboard and longboard divisions. Last year, he captured the Siheung Korea Open Longboard title and backed it up with an impressive equal 5th-place finish in a QS 6000 event. He's also another talented student of WaveKi under Sensei Brad Gerlach, taking his surfing and competitive mindset to the next level.

It's incredible to see how much surfing has grown throughout the Asia-Pacific region, especially in Korea, with an emerging generation of world-class surfers, international events, and even the impressive WaveGarden Seoul helping fuel the next wave of talent. We're excited to hear about his journey, what it's like growing up in Korea's surf culture, and what the future holds for Korean surfing.

Please welcome to the show,  Kanoa Hee-Jae.
