November 23, 1993 // Honolulu, Hawaii
Synopsis: Bald is beautiful, and apparently, bald also makes you surf better. In 2008, Zeke was on a competitive and media rampage, solidifying his name as one of Hawaii’s top groms by placing second in the Explorer Boy’s division at NSSA Nationals and covering more spreads than a Vegas bookie.
Variables: Zeke hails from Honolulu and, with the rest of the Town contingency, hones his skills at Kewalo Basin—a peak more known for fun, rippable waves than heavy-water conditions. If Zeke wants to continue to up his game, it’s time to get a room at the Volcom House.
Forecast: Smooth, stylish, and polished beyond his years, Zeke is one Hawaii’s strongest contenders in the Hot 100. If he continues his success, we predict great things for the young Hawaiian.
