Aloha Aspiring
Hawaiʻi Surf Team Members and Ohana,
The Hawaii Surf
Team is building the next world championship team, and this is your opportunity
to be a part of the team. The Hawaii coaches are running a selection camp to
build the 2027 team to perpetuate the Hawaiian sport of surfing, the aloha
spirit and bring home the gold.
The Hawaii Surf
Team selection camps determine the 2027 team comprised of three boys U18, three
boys U16, three girls U18, and three girls U16, additionally an alternate will
be selected for each division.
We are pleased
to announce that the 202 ISA World Juniors Selection Camp will take place
January 16–17 & 30-31, 2027.
To ensure the highest quality evaluation conditions, we will select the most
productive location based on conditions, which may include North, South, East,
or West Oʻahu. Due to permit limitations, we will strategically choose
locations that allow for safe, effective training and evaluation.
Selection
Camp Structure
The Selection Camp will be divided into two separate selection days:
Jan 16-17:
Girls – OR - Boys U16 & U18
Jan 30-31:
Girls – OR - Boys U16 & U18
Each day will
consist of skill-based observations, drills, and performance evaluations.
A selection
panel will identify top-performing surfers from each group to form a Training
Team, which will then undergo further evaluation to earn placement on the 2027
Competition Team.
Scheduling
& Travel Planning
We will use extended surf forecasts to determine which divisions will surf on
which days within the waiting period. This approach is designed to provide
as much advance notice as possible for athletes traveling from the outer
islands.
More detailed
logistics, daily schedules, and location confirmations will be communicated
once conditions and forecasts allow us to finalize the operational plan.
Mahalo for your commitment, preparation, and dedication to representing Hawaiʻi
at the highest international level.
