'It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life... and we're feeling good!'

There's something quite magical about the dawn of a new day, the way darkness turns to a glowing light. Perhaps it's being part of that magic that draws every surfer to venture out for that iconic dawnie session. And that same magical feeling fills us all at the start of a new year with the thrill of

what lies in store. But what makes it so magical? Is it that we're back at the beginning with a clean canvas waiting for its painting like an empty break

of perfect waves just waiting to be ridden? That's probably a good part of it! Well whatever it is, we're certainly feeling good here at SURPHANG and so have got another great issue just waiting to be read! We take you back to

where surfing began by catching up with three Hawaiian surfers; we chat to a champ buzzing with the thrill of new challenges lieing ahead this year; we look back on five fab years of photograpy but with an eye to the future; and we share the work of an upcoming water photographer who's got a bright

future ahead of him. After all that, we hope you'll be feeling good too!

Originating from Molokai, Kaoli Kahokuloa is another young Hawaiian surfer already making his mark in the surfng world. Still only 16 years old, his surfng took him to a joint eleventh place in last year's ISA World Junior Surfng Championships soit's no surprise that he's back on the Hawaiian Junior Surf team this year, keen to follow in Kalani's success last year and bring home the Under 18 title for himself this time around!

Kaoli KahokuloaKaoli KahokuloaLike many up and coming surfers, Kaoli craves those perfect air sections and so you're muchmore likely to fnd him busting full rotation frontside 360s on the North Shore than you are to see him charging barrels.And like many other young Hawaiian surfers, he spent last summer over inCalifornia so that he could perfect the aerial repertoire for which he is becoming increasingly known.

Here, in the epicentre of modern surfng culture,Kaoli was able to show his surfng prowess through competition success and through many internetvideos of his gravity defying aerials, both of whichearnt him international recognition but more importantly in this modern world, sponsors!

But for Kaoli, his surfng ability isn't just about winning contests. Surfng is much more an

outlet to express and share the Hawaiianvalues for both Kaoli and his family.

As his father states, 'We want to do it the old style way. Always stay humble,

no matter what the result, and alwayscome out smiling.' And so what does

Kaoli himself aspire to: 'To simply enjoy surfng, everywhere around the world.'
