You Voted Him The Best Junior In The World, Here’s Why

Surfing Pipeline as a professional competitive surfer is an inevitability. Atleast, if you’re hoping to be a successful professional surfer, it is. But, as Morgan Cibillic notes above, “you can’t train for Pipe on the East Coast of Australia.”

So, to ready the two fine lads for their probable arrival on the CT, Surfing Australia sent Hughie Vaughan and Eden Hasson on a Hawaiian excursion.

At 16-years old, Hughie Vaughan has more personality than your entire local dive bar — and has the surfing to back it up. In our Stab Surfer Of The Year Poll, you (our audience) nudged the vote in his direction for Best Male Junior. Considering his performance at Vans Stab High, we don’t blame ya.

Not to be outdone, Eden Hasson lands a particularly absurd full rotation mid-clip. Seriously bonkers.

What weapons these two will be in their 20’s.

We’re looking forward to it.
