Watch: Two Years Of Ender-Worthy Footage In Six Minutes

An Eli Hanneman highlight reel.

Eli Hanneman knows what he wants. His life goals, laid bare in a screenshot of his notes app posted on Instagram, are simple: win a Challenger Series event, win the US Open, qualify for the CT (both already handled), win an event there, and, ultimately, snag the grand prize. He wants the Wozzle cup.

At just 21, and with 40% of his lifetime goals already checked off, there’s no reason to think he won’t get back on tour and go 5 for 5. He’s young, hungry, and hell-bent — like the world owes him the rest.

Yesterday , he dropped a highlight reel from the past two years of his surfing life. It’s six minutes of footage that could close out any film. Pipe, Indo, South Africa, Portugal. If some of these clips hadn’t already been burned in other edits, this would’ve been a SEOTY candidate, no question.

For more on Eli, click here to see why CJ Hobgood once likened him to Filipe Toledo — if Pip had heavy water Hawaiian stones.
