Certain families in surfing hold legendary status.
There are many that come to mind – the Moniz clan, the Wright family, the Aikau ohana…just to call out a few – and their names mean something in the surf world.
And one name is extra legendary, worldwide, though especially in Hawaii: Ho.
Patriarch Michael Ho and his two kids, Mason and Coco, are surfing royalty. Mike was a powerhouse Hawaiian surfer in the 1980s and 90s, although he continues to blow peoples’ minds to this day. Mason is one of the most eccentric, creative, fun-to-watch freesurfers in the game. Coco is pushing the boundaries of female surfing, while maintaining her family’s trademark knack for style and grace in the water.
Put ‘em all together, and you’ve got a family chock full of good surfing genes.
In a new clip – check it out above – the whole family gets together for a surf session at Sunset Beach. And, of course, they get a couple party waves together.
Praising the Ho family, commenters chimed in:
“Legendary Master, the Ho family day is amazing, you guys rule. Uncle Mike looks great, coco is the goat and mason Rules. Mahalo Fam”
“Much respect to the Ho family, growing up Surfing HB, when ever Michael and Derek rolled into HB it was really cool being in the line up with two LEGENDS. Rest in Paradise riding the longest sickest barrel Derek.”
“The ambassadors of fun. Killer Ohana edit. Love yall’s dynamic. Aloha from coastal Georgia!”
“This is how I want to spend time with my family”
As they say, the family that surfs together…well, you know it goes.
