  • Griffin Colapinto's incredible rise has been swift. Two years ago he was merely one of many up-and-comers swimming in the deep end of surfing talent down in San Clemente, California. Today, heading into the 2018 WSL Championship Tour (CT) season, he's the youngest of seven rookies on the men's side, and his arrival is among those to watch when the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast kicks off March 11.

    Literally the nicest most genuine kid you'll find. Unbelievable surfer but better human!
    Great job mom and dad!

    Great kid. The fact that he remembered my name when I bumped into him in Santa Monica, after barely chatting with him much out at Lowers a couple times, really impressed upon me how humble and good natured he is at his core. It’s great to see such a person succeed.
    I really look forward to watching his star shine brighter in the years ahead.

      Most of us not living there probably think of Richard Nixon when we think of San Clemente. Now Griffin is erasing and replacing that memory with something positive. The kid is amazing.

    Big ups to Jake Patterson for all his work in keeping this kid headed in the right direction, Griffin he'll need a year or two to mature as a pro but he could be top ten material within a couple of years.
