Keanu is 15 and from Ewa Beach, Oahu. He got our attention winning Surf Into Summer and has only been rising since. The natural-foot has been a permanent fixture in almost every amateur final heat this year. From HASA States to the Rip Curl Grom Search to NSSA Nationals, you’ll find Keanu humbly grinning from the winner’s podium.

If the predictions are true, it’s only a matter of time before Asing’s powerful style and determined character will thrust him into the big leagues.

Keanu was recently featured in the Honolulu Advertiser. Check out the article here.
