The little guy hasn’t launched into his teens yet but man, Sam Piter rips. Perhaps this is the great fortune of a grom whose father is a European surfing legend and full time surf coach. Or maybe it’s hitting the gene pool jackpot? Or really just amazing natural talent? Of course, we all know it’s a combination of these things – a perfect recipe for molding an up and coming hotshot.
“Europe’s got a strong generation coming up and Sam is one of the best in class,” the former pro-dad-turned-coach, Didier Piter says. In the ’90s, Didier earned a wildcard on the ‘CT after success on the ASP’s European tour. He’d started his professional competitive career in his twenties, which would be considered over the hill by today’s standards. But little Sam clearly won’t be getting a late start. And if he keeps progressing, there probably isn’t going to be much stopping him from success on the same stage.
So how stoked would you be if you were this good before finishing Jr. High?
