EP 94: Ezekiel Lau - The wild past year of his career, His road back to the Championship Tour, Haleiwa, Competing against a stacked class of surfers since childhood, Snapt 4, The Ultimate Surfer, Choosing power, and The best surfer ever at Pipeline

Championship Tour surfer Ezekiel Lau joins the podcast to talk
about the wild past year of his career. He describes focusing all
his energy on the upcoming Challenger Series finale at Haleiwa, how
different it is to prepare for Haleiwa vs Pipe, the expectations
put on him as a local Hawaiian surfer, and requalifying for the CT
after a year away. He looks back at his journey to becoming a pro
surfer, growing up in a non-surfing family in Honolulu, getting
pushed by his father to compete, learning the surf industry, and
the uber-talented class of surfers he grew up competing against. He
dives into his time on The Ultimate Surfer, why he applied for the
show, the risks of appearing on it, who his biggest threats were,
and how winning the show helped his career. He also talks about
going to Kamehameha schools, navigating the industry shift from
magazines to Youtube, filming Snapt 4, making improvements to his
surfing, harnessing his power, and what surfer he thinks is the
best ever at Pipeline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
