Shion Crawford is Hawaii’s latest Challenger Series hopeful. It’s not easy getting there: With only 6 spots up for grabs, making the jump from the regional Qualifying Series to the CS is nearly as tough as making the Championship Tour itself.
At only 18-years-old, Crawford might have to take a few lumps before he finds his feet on the CS, but we’re confident he’ll get his results eventually. Growing up with Haleiwa as his backyard, Crawford learned early to match power with power, and it shows in his surfing. Click play to watch 4-minutes of Crawford surfing with his foot firmly planted on the gas.
