Paddle Surf Hawaii Picks Up Youngest SUP Pro, Slater Trout
By: Ben Cortez
Paddle Surf Hawaii has signed 14 year old waterman Slater Trout to their list of high caliber athletes. "We're stoked to have Slater surfing our boards, he is a great guy from a great family. He rips too!", says PSH owner and shaper Blane Chambers. Paddle Surf Hawaii is one of the premier stand up paddle surfboard makers in the industry.
Blessed with natural talent and ability, Slater is a great ambassador for SUP, the fastest growing water sport in the world. Not only a major force in SUP wave events, Slater has also proven himself to be a fierce competitor in open ocean racing. Slater recently took 2nd place in the Gerry Lopez Rainbow Sandals Battle of the Paddle, Elite men's division in Dana Point California. This invitation only event featured 96 of the world's top paddlers, Slater being the youngest. Those not familiar with his body of work in Hawaii, where he lives, took notice after this incredible performance. A few of Slater's other notable accomplishments include, three championship titles at the prestigious Duke's Oceanfest held each August on Waikiki Beach on Oahu.
