South Shore Native Is More Than Comfortable At Pipe And Backdoor

Noa Mizuno was born and raised on the South Shore of Oahu, where he grew up idolizing guys like Gerry Lopez and Dane Kealoha. While he may not be the first overly talented young Hawaiian surfer that springs to mind, his latest edit, ‘Tech Noir,’ has him next in line for a breakout winter on the North Shore.

Noa’s bold approach at Pipe bleeds confidence, and his South Shore upbringing has provided him with an assortment of skills to handle various conditions. How solid is that roundhouse at 3:27? The maneuver isn’t a showstopper in the viral surf clip realm, but damn is it a treat to watch.
