The Next Gen Hawaiian Watermen

Robby Naish, Austin Kalama and Koa Fabio, together, take to the shores of Maui, Hawai'i, for the Naish film “Next Gen Hawaiian Watermen”. You can find the story on the Naish movement in the latest issue of Foiling Magazine. 


What defines a waterman? And more importantly, what does it take to be one?

Hawai'i is the birthplace of some of the best watermen in the world. Home to athletes who have dedicated their lives to mastering the ocean — from windsurfing to Big Wave surfing, kitesurfing, and now, to the explosive uprise of winging and foiling — Hawaiian athletes give their heart and soul to the ocean. But watermen aren’t defined by one sport, nor one quality; watermen are the embodiment of passion, grit, and talent across a combination of all watersports. Passing down knowledge and experience from one generation to another, watermen forge a special kind of connection with the ocean, and in the footsteps of legends in watersports, the legacy and spirit of watermen will continue until the end of time.

Inspiring the next generation, Robby Naish, Austin Kalama & Koa Fabbio take to the legendary waters of Maui, Hawai'i — the very birthplace of Naish — to continue this legacy and welcome those, who share their passion and determination, with open arms.
