The Legendary Qualification of Kanoa | CHAPTERS II

Competing on the WSL Championship Tour might seem like a dream but for the athletes who eat, breathe and sleep surfing’s Major League, things don’t always come easy. In 2022, Japanese surfer Kanoa Igarashi experienced the highs and lows of a young man who has made no secret of his desire to hoist surfing’s most prestigious trophy, consequences be damned. Tour life’s a rollercoaster though, and whether Kanoa’s wearing the yellow jersey at Bells or coming up against wildcards old (Mick Fanning) and new (Mateus Herdy), he will never let himself take anything for granted and won’t take his foot off the gas till he’s reached his final destination.
As Kanoa travels from Hawaii to Europe, Australia to El Salvador, Brazil, South Africa, Tahiti and beyond, it is all done with one target in mind: the WSL Finals at Trestles, in San Clemente, California. Raised just up the road in Huntington Beach, there is nothing Kanoa would wish for more in life than to claim the number one spot in front of friends and family. Although, his peers are an incredibly talented collection, driven by the same hunger and dealing with the same lessons and hurdles as the athletic natural-footer.
Chapters is a fly-on-the wall look into the day-to-day life of an elite surfer and his motley entourage. Hit play now to join Kanoa and co. as they circle the globe, honing in on success but soaking up their spectacular surroundings along the way. Enjoy.

Everything is so good in this production. Well done Red Bull Surfing team. Kanoa for the win, you are my favorite surfer ! Full support from the French West Coast !

[@telladom]

Kanoa, you have worked so hard and passionately!👏 Super happy and stoked for you and all that is yet to come. God has blessed you and may He continue to do so and give you great waves🤙🌊 You're always in my thoughts and prayers, much love and respect for you🤗 I remember asking God so desperately to give you a good wave during that Tahiti event, and He delivered and you made the best of it! You gave it your all. You did it, top 5! I was jumping for joy for you that day, I still do when I rewatch that moment😄

Very few Professional Surfers have a style Parred with Kelly Slater, and Kano is 1 of them.

Mans just has no artistry to his surfing, looks like a robot out there

[@tyronecardwell5132]

True, no soul or real expression in his surfing. Even when he talks about surfing (robot)

[@timwannell6477]

Amazing work. But does your coach really need to swear that much? 😅
