Keala is part of the next generation coming from the Big Island of Hawaii (FBI). He's been on the radar outside Hawaii for a few years now, winning the coveted NSSA Open Jr National Title last year. Keala is transitioning to the ASP Pro Jrs, but for now he's camped out at the Oakley House looking for an opportunity. He's ready to go, and here is his take on what he'll be riding.
"The waves are small again today, so I've got my 5'9" x 18.17" x 2.17" Regulator Model by Bret Murimoto. I'm riding it now with the AM2 Techflex fins. They're a little bit bigger fin, which is good for Hawaii, because the waves are more bowly and they feel good in the pocket. I got a couple fun ones at Backdoor yesterday. This is my standard shortboard, and it's what I'll be riding again today."
