Open the garage of any surfer who has one and you’re bound to find their quiver. However systematically or laxly organized is another matter. But especially for pros that accrue an ungodly amount of boards over the course of their competitive career, a quiver tells a story. And recently Red Bull caught up with Kanoa Igarashi at his home in Huntington Beach to learn his.
Kanoa’s favorite board he’s ever ridden is the one he rode when he learned he qualified for the ‘CT two years ago. And, apparently, Igarashi means “50-year storm” in Japanese, which is why Kanoa chose 50 as his jersey number. Who knew?
