When I paddle out, it’s the rhythm of the ocean that connects me most—it feels like music and keeps me flowing. My bond with the waves is like a mix of calm blues and heavy crashes, always shifting but always pushing me to break through barriers and keep progressing.

I am 15 years old and I attend Marina High School. I am on the surf team, swim team, and water polo team. I currently ride a 6"4 Xanadu Mad X.

My names Lucas, I’m from Honolulu Hawaii and I go to Kalani High School. I love the ocean. Each session out in the water lets me test my limits and feel the energy of the waves. Bodyboarding is where I feel most alive, riding the rhythm of the ocean and feeling completely free.

In the water, I express myself through style — playful, flowy, and free. Outside of it, I give back by doing beach cleanups and staying mindful. Growing up in Huntington Beach, the ocean feels like home, so protecting it is personal.

a perfect drop-in is astonishing, steep, and memorizing—the kind of ride that locks you in and reminds you why we live for the ocean. Before paddling out, Laʻakea sets his flow with a playlist of calm island vibes, from Sashamon’s “Necta” to B.E.T’s “Trust in Me.” His dream bodyboard is all about performance and creativity.
