Athlete Extraordinaire Toa Pere was named OCC Junior Surfer of the Year

➳ Adding to the list of names engraved on the John McMahon Perpetual Outstanding Junior Surfer Trophy is Toa Pere. The 14-year-old’s name and reputation is now alongside illustrious members such as three-time Olympic kayaker Tracy Phillips. “Hailing from the North Shore of O‘ahu, Toa is experienced beyond his years in the ocean. A gentleman out of the water and fierce competitor in the water, from winning multiple divisions in this year’s surf jam to being the youngest ever to paddleboard across the Molokai channel, Toa exemplifies the Outrigger spirit,” says Surf Committee Chair Tai Sunnland.
