Griff, Griffo, Griffyndor, The Sponge. Griffin Colapinto hail-maryied onto the world surfing stage with a crazy tail blow air reverse at Haleiwa in 2016. He won the whole Triple Crown the following year as a teenager – the first Californian ever to do so. To cap things off, when Griffin qualified for the WT, his acceptance speech was done as a freestyle rap. That’s Griff, always entertaining in and out of the water. Underneath the surface he works harder than anyone too. Something that will see him as a guy to watch for years and years to come.
