What truly defines a waterman—and what does it take to become one? Hawaii has produced some of the greatest watermen in the world—athletes who have spent their lives mastering the ocean, from windsurfing and big-wave surfing to kitesurfing, and now the exhilarating rise of winging and foiling. To these Hawaiian athletes, the ocean isn’t just a playground; it’s a calling that demands heart, soul, and an unbreakable bond. Being a waterman isn’t confined to one sport or skill set—it’s the embodiment of unwavering passion, relentless determination, and the talent to excel in all things water.

Watermen share a profound connection with the sea, passing down wisdom from generation to generation. Following in the footsteps of legendary water-sport pioneers, Robby Naish, Austin Kalama, and Koa Fabbio return to Maui, Hawaii—Naish’s birthplace—to keep this legacy alive. They invite anyone who shares their passion to join the tribe and carry on this enduring heritage.
