Griffin Colapinto first captured the surfing world's attention in 2016 when he went viral with an incredible last-minute air-reverse to win a stacked Qualifying Series heat at the Hawaii Pro.
As an 18-year-old in 2017, he then made the final of the WSL's World Junior Championship and used that result to kickstart his season, finishing the year winning the prestigious Triple Crown in Hawaii en route to claiming top spot on the Qualifying Series rankings, sealing his place on the following year's Championship Tour in emphatic style.
