Surfing

Jack Ho

For a 21-year-old, Jack Ho has had a hell of a career. Born and raised on O‘ahu, Hawai‘i, right next to the world-famous beaches of Waikīkī, Jack started surfing when he was 5 years old and he hasn’t left the water since. That passion only intensified when, at age 13, his dad bought him a foil, which he pursued with a dedication that would quickly make him one of the best in the world. Two years later, he and a group of friends discovered downwinders, and the “Voyager Foilers” have spent the past half-decade pushing the limits of what’s possible on a foil … though Jack can still be found off the shore of O‘ahu paddling his short- and longboards to catch the next swell.

“My love for surfing started at a young age, and no matter what I do, I can’t shake it off,” he says. “It’s a passion that sticks with me, and the root of it is riding waves every type of way, getting out there and enjoying what my home has to offer. That’s so valuable to me and something I take a lot of pride in.”

Cash Berzolla

Cash is what happens when you give a surfboard wings. Born and raised on Maui, the young waterman has been surfing his entire life and picked up foiling in his mid-teens. Cash surfs when the waves are clean and the wind is down; when they’re not, his foil turns bumps and chop into a magic carpet ride, allowing him to stay out on the water longer with his friends, be it in the ocean or on a lake or river. As he puts it, “a one-foot wave on a foil can feel like a six-foot wave on a surfboard.”

Despite just turning 20 years old, Cash is already pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on a foil with a unique style that’s as playful as it is cutting edge, so much so that he has a signature technique, the Berzolla Bottom Turn. Whatever he’s riding, Cash is just happy to be on the water.

“Being on land can be so crazy and can make life feel super intense,” he says. “But when I hop in the water, I’m focused on one thing and one thing only. It brings me a peace of mind, helps me relax and most importantly, it’s fun.”
