Kolohe Andino - #27

Brother talks about getting his first board at 6 years old and how much he looked up to Mason Ho, who was full-on doing contests at the time. He tells me about being a grom and meeting Taj Burrow right around the time of his 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑗 movie, and how stoked he was when Taj remembered his name, Kolohe. Brother won 9 NSSA titles and 5 U.S. Championships before making the CT at 17 years old, surfing against Taj Burrow, Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning, and Kelly Slater right out of the gate. Meanwhile, his peers John John Florence and Gabriel Medina were already on tour killing it. He did the tour for well over a decade. I asked him about his film 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑘𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐼𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 and some of his latest surf-porn projects, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑡ℎ, 𝑆𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑐ℎ, and 𝐻𝑖𝑗𝑖𝑛𝑥. He tells me his top five favorite surfers of all time and the names of the groms he sees blowing up nowadays, kids like King Nicol, Zion Walla, Moses Hennings, Henry Mullin, and Hayden Rodgers. Nowadays, he’s raising his family, he just had his third kid, runs his brand Steko, and surfs every day, considering surfing is his medicine.
