Kalani David🌹🙌🏽 I first met Kalani eight years ago when he was 16 on a Surfing Magazine grom trip to El Salvador. Eli Hanneman (who was 11) and the Franzmann brothers were also on board, and on their first ever surf trip ! So having Kalani along was hugely inspiring for the lightweights. But don’t take Kalani’s wax ! Haha, lil’ Eli learned a huge lesson that trip from Uncle Kalani😆👊🏽 Kalani was such a pro. Even at 16 he was already a leader, with a wealth of friends and support all over the world. I kept asking him, “how old are you again” ?? Really gonna miss this kid. He’ll always be a kid, right ? Damn...😒💔 The above clip is Kalani having a moment with his longtime pal and lensman Peter King, and ripping Rockies during Hawaii’s historic run of swell from January, 2022.
