The word on Raymond Reichle is that he “surfs like a Hawaiian,” which would make sense considering he was raised on a steady diet of North Shore juice. With a fast and carving approach at Sunset, Reichle has his big wave act wired, but he’s also got an explosive and progressive small wave routine as well. The only thing working against him is the same thing that’s been in his path for years: a massive Hawaiian talent pool. If Reichle is going to stand alone he’ll need to find a way to set himself apart, which shouldn’t be too hard for a kid who’s got game in everything from 2 foot to 12.
