Zane Kekoa Schweitzer is a Hawaiian waterman and inspiring human being. In this interview he tells the story about wingfoiling jaws for the first time, what the ultimate waterman championship is, how he teaches his students wing foiling in a couple of days and how he talked Pete Cabrinha into handing him the first wing on the island.


Growing up with legends of the surfing world like Pete Cabrinha, Robby Naish, Laird Hamilton, Gerry Lopez and many many more, he is not only a true waterman but also an inspiration. His book "Beneath The Surface" is highly recommended if you want to learn how he lives with gratitude. The quote that stuck the most with me is: "Be grateful for your past, live in the present and manifest your future.". I highly recommend you to check out his book right here: https://zaneschweitzer.com/
