Son of 90s Hawaiian hero Kaipo Jaquias, Kaimana is quickly making a name for himself based on his own abilities in the water. This past February at the 8th stop on the NSSA Hawaii conference, held at Ali i in flawless six-foot, offshore conditions, he walked away with a first place in the Explorer Boys, besting fellow Billabong teammates and good friends Benji and David Brand in the final. A compact, powerful surfer, like his dad, he s capable of big turns in little waves. Kaimana shines whether the surf is pumping or poopy. With the advantage of growing of on Kauai, led by the legacy of surfers like Andy and Bruce Ironsnot to mention his strong family tiesKaimana s already a standout amongst the young juniors in Hawaii. It surely won t be long before he crosses the pond and shows the world that the old saying, like father, like son, isn t too far off the mark.
