With the likes of Clay Marzo, Granger Larson, and Dusty Payne knocking down doors, when it comes to ensuring Maui’s prominence as one of the world’s great hotbeds, Imai DeVault is proving to be a vital member of the next, next generation. A recent winner of the menehune division at the 18th annual Hookipa Classic, when Imai’s not blowing away his classmates—and when he can get a ride—chances are you’ll find him out drawing lines on the wall at Honolua Bay. Listing the Bay as the best wave he’s ever ridden, it’s no wonder his surfing’s matured beyond his years. And proof further that Imai’s as Hawaiian as they come, he lists Spam Musubi as his favorite food. A pint-size player at this point, Imai’s going to have to keep eating that Spam to put a little meat on his bones, but this Valley Isle original’s bound to distinguish himself sooner rather than later.
