From Ian Crane’s “Beach Head” to Kolohe Andino’s “2% Surf,” San Clemente’s grassroots surf culture is thriving.
as it ought to be. After all, San Clemente has more professional surfers per capita than any other place in the country—by a wide margin—and is home to the most shreddable wave in America, Lower Trestles. Every time you surf in South Carolina, it’s normal to share the lineup with CT surfers and freesurfing celebrities if you’re an emerging grom. Discuss about irons that are sharpened.
Crane, along with Andino, Crosby Colapinto, and many more up-and-coming riders, goes completely crazy at Lowers during a recent run of midsummer swell in the most current cut from Crane’s Beach Head. Crane must be among the top surfers currently off the CT if he isn’t already. Crane surfs with all gas and no brakes, showing off his spectacular laybacks and totally committed bottom turns. It appears as though Crane has combined the best surfing techniques from the last few decades’ SC stars into one surfer.
