#5. Kolohe and Dino Andino certainly has the surfing gene

Dino Andino, the surf legend who won all the American contests possible, is the former pro surfer who influenced the lives of many. Certainly, most of all he inspired his son, Kolohe Andino. No surprise, the son of the legendary athlete became a surfer himself.

Kolohe (51.00) has always been immersed in the whole surfing-scene since a really young age. He was lucky enough to join his father at a job for the Oakley brand. So from the beginning, he had the possibility to develop his water-related skills.

According to his father, Kolohe is really focused, dedicated, and spends most of his time training. I think he was blessed with a huge amount of talent, though that was always apparent. But talent is only as good as it is without work, so if you combine the two, with dedication and hard work and sacrifice, with talent, the water has no limits says Dino.

#4. John John Florence busy after injury

John John’s (5.00) name is certainly memorable: once you hear it, just can’t forget it. The professional surfer suffered an injury in June 2018, what makes him a wildcard in the 2019 season. However, the two-times world champion took a decision which left most of his fans in despair.

The athlete has chosen to withdraw from the 2018 Billabong Pipe Masters. However, he was keeping busy while recovering. After seven years of being fully on tour, the champion could use some time off. Mainly, he spent his extra time paddling and sailing.

#3. Conner Coffin just rules

Having a rather morbid surname, Conner Coffin (41.00) couldn’t care less. Coffin belongs to the newest surf-generation, however already managed to achieve a lot. Following the footsteps of many pro surfers of Santa Barbara, California, Conner did not have to go far to find the best beach.

Besides surfing, Conner is trying to establish himself as a musician. That is great as a hobby, but let’s hope he won’t give up his board for a guitar. He is quite a favored surfer according to the online sportsbook sites in the US.

#2. Wiggolly Dantas has the coolest name in surfing

No question, Wiggolly Dantas is not so much a typical Brazilian surfer. Started surfing at three years old, as her mum owned a little beach shop, selling coconuts, drinks, and food. At the age of 6, when he entered his first ever competition on his sister’s board, he got the third place.

That was the moment he realized this what he really wants to be is a professional surfer. Wiggolly’s father always dreamed of having a surfer son, so the family support was not a question. Now, surfing at the Qualifying Series, Wiggolly is having a blast.

#1. Coco Ho comes from a strong surf dynasty

Actually, Coco Ho kinda wins this list. Her full name is Coco Malia Camille Hapaikekoa Ho. Born in Honolulu, she is a true Hawaiian. Coming from the family of Michael Ho, Derek Ho, Mason Ho, she discovered the joy of surfing quite early. Her surfing matches her personality, fast-paced, bold and sharp.

Earned her first sponsorship at 8, Coco’s life was pretty much set at that young age. Even though the female surfing scene is extremely competitive, she achieved over 25 surfing victories throughout her career.  Certainly, she will be riding the waves for years to come.
