The hype around Maui surfer Eli Hanneman is nothing new. He’s been dubbed a future star of the sport for many years. However, now aged 18, Eli is beginning to transition out of his ‘grom’ phase. The kid’s got a bit more meat on his bones, and a bit more power behind his surfing, and the results are pretty spectacular.
Eli just dropped this clip to his Youtube channel, titled Twenty Seven Clips, it was shot on location in Indonesia and as you might have guessed from the title, features twenty-seven clips of Eli from the trip.
We’ll leave it to you to decide if you think the hype is worthy, but we were pretty much blown away by his performance.
