Today’s guest is Keanu Asing. Keanu is a professional surfer born and raised on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Keanu grew up surfing and has a fighting spirit, growing up in a household influenced by martial arts. He comes from a Fighting family, so battling was was all too familiar to him as a child. At a young age Keanu started doing surf contests with the local kids. Kids like Carissa Moore and John John Florence. Eventually these contests begin to evolve and so did Keanu's surfing. He showed much promise at a young age, gaining sponsorship and support to send him around the globe to compete more. After a super successful junior career Keanu eventually found himself on the main stage, the championship tour of surfing. There he was competing with the worlds best, going around the world on the dream tour, the best surfers in the best waves. Keanu was living his childhood dream, traveling the world, a professional surfer, representing the people of the island state of Hawaii. With all the crazy ups and downs, Keanu battled with consistency of results, eventually he re-qualified for a second year on tour. On his second year on tour he achieved  one of the hardest things a professional surfer could ever do on tour… Win an event. Yes. He won an event, but not just won, dominated! Taking down the world number and world number two in the process, Gabriel Medina and John John Florence. Keanu won the Quicksilver Pro France in 2016. Keanu Asing's slogan is  "heart over height". He’s not the biggest guy, but he has a heart of a lion and the courage of a tiger, he’s a fighter, he’s a scrapper, a pitbull that will hang onto your neck until it’s over. And that’s just what he did in France in 2016. His back hand attack proved lethal in the beach breaks of Hossegor France. This event Win was an all time career high for Keanu. But with professional surfing comes drama, surfers have to roll with the punches, the highest of the highs and the lowest of the Lows. At the end of his second year on tour,  Keanu was unable to re qualify and fell off the championship tour. It was hard, but be Keanu is tough and is realistic, with with his feet planted firmly on the ground. With Keanu's faith, Determination and his talent, I have no doubt we will see him back on the championship tour. These days Keanu has been surfing and getting good results on the qualifying series. Covid has put a pause on most professional events but Keanu has been laying low in his home in San Clemente, taking it easy since the pandemic. Keanu has been surfing and training and hanging out with his wife. Using this time to reconnect with love ones and surf lowers on the regular. Keanu is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met, and is a true pro behind the Mic. He met up with me down at the beach in San Clemente called Linda Lane. It was a real honor to sit down and talk with him about life,Surf,Hawaii and the 2016 Quicksilver Pro France. Please enjoy my conversation with the great Keanu Asing.
