“I’m glad that she’s taking the right steps working towards it, working with Andrea Moller and being mentored by her, and going at her own pace and when she feels that it’s her time to go and ride a wave, then she’s going to make that call, and I can’t wait until I get to witness her drop again.”
“I’m super proud of her being that she wants to surf big waves as well,” Ty Simpson-Kane said. Chrislyn Simpson-Kane placed third in the open super girls (U14) division. The siblings, born and raised on Maui, both competed at the NSSA championships in California this weekend. Earlier this year, younger sister Chrislyn Simpson-Kane became the youngest female to tow surf Peahi at 13 years old after getting the call to surf alongside veteran Andrea Moller, according to the WSL.
“It’s super humbling and to be out there in the Peahi contest with the world’s best big wave surfers is just absolutely mind-blowing.”Īnd it seems as though the skill and thrill of riding massive waves runs in the family. “I’m super honored to have been given the opportunity to join the event again, being that I’m 17 years old,” said the Kamehameha Schools Maui senior. Then at 15 years old, Simpson-Kane competed in the event on a wildcard. By the following year, Simpson-Kane successfully caught a bomb on a tow-in board during the 2018 Peahi Challenge on a day when the event was put on hold due to monstrous waves.
