As the two-time winner of the 2020 and 2021 Foil Surf Racing League in Florida, we are looking forward to watching Austin grow and take his riding to new levels. “I am super stoked and excited to be a part of such a progressive international brand, that also represents Maui and the culture I am proud to have grown up in. I am looking forward to growing with the whole Naish team and taking my career as a waterman to the next level,†said Austin.
“I am personally very excited to see Austin joining the team. As a third-generation North Shore Maui ripper, I have been watching Austin over the years honing his board riding skills. He is humble, passionate, and talented, and will be a real asset to our brand’s product development, promotional, and competitive sides. At the same time, Naish will be providing Austin with the well-deserved equipment and support that he needs in order to blossom to his full athletic potential.†– Robby Naish
