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.

Tiki lives in Waikiki surfing her favorite spot in the world, Queens! Her dad Alika, taught her how to surf when she was a baby getting pushed into waves starting age 4. Her mom Dina would watch from shore or be out there ready to push Tiki back out to her dad. It was a full family affair.

Now when she surfs she loves to take out her High Pro by T&C/Tanaka. She's easy to spot on her hot pink with black rails longboard. When the waves are firing you’ll definitely see her and the high pro model!

Outside of surfing she normally likes to read, go to the movies either by herself or with friends (she loves going to a theatre by herself), and she likes to have fun in anything she does. Her appetite consists of a lot of carbs and A LOT of chocolate, but her favorite food would have to be a banana açaí bowl from @banan. 

She grew up around some very inspirational women like Kelia Moniz, Megan Godinez, and Carissa Moore. Tiki looks up to them a lot!

Tiki has been a competitive surfer for as long as she can remember, either competing in her home town or on a different coast in another part of the world! She couldn’t be more grateful for her surfing life!

Kaiser started surfing at the age of 5 years old. His father would take Kaiser out to the beach near their home in Kawela Bay and push him into little rollers. That started him on his path and love of surfing.

Kaiser has traveled to many destinations of the past 13 years. Gold Coast of Australia, Bali, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Hosssegor France, and El Salvador. He's been able to connect with other cultures and surf some amazing waves over the years.

During his high school years he surfed for the German Junior Olympic Team. His father's side comes from Germany and in 2019 Kaiser was able to obtain a German passport. This allowed him to join the German surf team and represent Germany at the 2022 ISA World Juniors Surfing Championships and the 2022 European Junior Surfing Championships.

Living at at Rocky Point on the North Shore of Oahu is something he is very grateful for. Rocky lefts is his favorite wave and you can find him there on most days surfing the Ronny Bowl or Deep Peak. Kaiser also enjoys surfing Pipeline, Velzy Land, and wherever the waves are good that day. The best waves he's surfed outside of Hawaii were Macaroni's and Snapper Rocks.

Kaisers favorite surfers are Mason Ho, Julian Wilson, Dion Agius, and Felipe Toledo to name a few.

Outside of surfing Kaiser is passionate about his education. He just graduated high school and had straight A's from 9th-12th grade. An admirable accomplishment. When he's not surfing he loves to golf. He's only been at if for about 7 months but the golf bug has bitten him and he loves it. He also loves hanging at the beach with friends and spending time with his family.

Kaiser has a progressive and powerful style that was born and bred on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. A great human that loves to charge. A perfect ambassador for T&C Surfboards. We look forward to following his progress in and out of the water.

Bella Eberz is a talented surfer who began surfing on the East side of Oahu before settling in Waikiki. Her home break, Queens, is conveniently located near her home, making it a dream setup. Bella's surfing style is smooth, quick, agile, and powerful. A result of drawing inspiration from the great surfers she sees on a daily basis. Among her favorite surfers, Kelis Kaleopaa and Joel Tudor are at the top of her list because of their style.

Over the past two years, Bella has made a name for herself in the HSA and NSSA circuits. She has numerous wins and impressive placements across several divisions. One of her most memorable victories was in a HSA event held at Queens for longboarding. Some of her favorite waves are Queens, Bowls, Chuns, Haleiwa, Makaha, and Cliffs. Bella has also participated in several prestigious local events like the Buffalo Big Board Classic, MOKU Noseriding Classic, and Duke's OceanFest.

Bella's association with T&C has allowed her to collaborate with Tommy Tanaka in refining the Beach Girl longboard model, as well as exploring other boards to build a versatile quiver suitable for various wave conditions. Among the boards she has tested, the Beach Girl remains her favorite. When Bella's not surfing she loves eating Mango sticky rice and enjoys playing the guitar and ukulele. Her favorite music genre is Reggae, a passion inherited from her father. Bella also loves watching the WSL shortboard division and enjoys seeing how well the Brazilians are doing on tour. Being half Brazilian on her mom's side, she feels a special connection and takes pride in their current success.

Bella's aspirations go beyond her current achievements. She is determined to continue her competitive surfing career and dreams of one day competing on the world tour for longboarding while also traveling more and riding new waves all around the world. She recognizes the importance of maintaining a balanced life by excelling in academics, giving herself future options. Bella has the drive and talent to excel in anything she pursues. We are stoked to have her on board and know she'll be a great ambassador for us wherever she goes.

Hokulani Topping grew up on the South Shore of Oahu born to parents Sunshine and Miles Topping.

You will often see her surfing with fellow T&C team rider Ewelei Wong all over the South Shore or lounging on the beautiful beaches with her friends taking photos and having fun. Hokulani definitely has a great sense of fashion and likes to model and goof around. When she's not in the water on her SINR surfboard she can be found at the Banan shop grabbing her favorite yogurt and fruit combo. She says her favorite foods besides chocolate is either Hawaiian or Greek.

Her surfing inspiration is local Carissa Moore. Not a surprise since Hokulani is a Kewalo's local and grew up watching Carissa surf her home break.

Hokulani is a senior in highschool and is looking get her PHD. She then wants to pursue a career as a doctor. High aspirations and we love it. We look forward to seeing her continue to blossom as a surfer and human.
