Kauli Vaast, 12 years old, Teahupoo

Sweet mother of X-Box what is this grom doing charging one of the heaviest waves in the world? I’ve seen much older, wiser “Pro” surfers absolutely cacking themselves at the mere mention of the word ‘Chopes’ … but this kid is out there having fun.

Get off GTA and COD groms: Kauli has laid down the challenge!

“Kauli has already started to travel the world and surfed some renown spots while discovering new cultures and surf styles. But he can never get enough of the hollow and powerfull waves of his Tahitian home spots where he gets the most fun.”
