Koa is a multi talented surfer who represents the T&C lifestyle. He is passionate about surfing, skating, nature and music to name a few.
Koa has a Bachelors degree from UH in environmental studies. He is passionate about understanding our relationship as humans to the earth we live within. He grew up on a fruit farm in Waimanalo and is very conscience of the food supply and our impact on mother nature. He works on this effort through his family farm supplying farmers markets with their selection of fruits.
Koa is also a band member with the Fungi Queens. He plays guitar and sings in the band. Another passion that drew him to others with the same interest. Their band formed organically and they are currently playing live shows now that the pandemic is lightening up.
Koa has incredible surf style and loves to ride twin and single fin surfboards. He loves the speed and flow but brings them into modern performance, pushing them to new levels. We look forward to seeing him develop some new models with Makani McDonald and Glenn Pang.
