Kanoa Igarashi and Tatiana Weston-Webb have stormed the Surfing America USA Championships 2012, at Lower Trestles, California. The competition set a new level in junior surfing and prepared the future stars of the waves. One year after the victory of Kolohe Andino, the 14-year-old Kanoa Igarashi took the Under 18 division in great style. What has he got in mind for the future? “This is my first USA Championship win. I’ve never even won my main divisions and to win in the older division is amazing”, explains Igarashi. “I knew I had to surf way beyond what I normally do because these guys are bigger than me and have more power. I can’t overpower them so I stuck to doing airs and came out on top. I’m pretty stoked”, he added.
