Consider this recent headline from the surf publications TheIntertia.com: “11-Year-Old Hayden Rodgers Is Surfing Better Than Pretty Much Everyone.”
Another surf pub, Stab Magazine, wrote, “It’s equal parts amazing and depressing to see a small human, like someone who’s literally 80 pounds, surfing with more style and grace than guys on the (Championship Tour).”
Last weekend, 11-year-old Hayden Rodgers went on a tear at Salt Creek, taking out the boys division at the NSSA Southwest Conference contest.
“Haydo” has been busy. The goofy-footer also came away with a convincing win at the USA Surfing Prime in Huntington Beach.
When he’s not in the zone in a jersey, Hayden is keen to work on his video footage, as well as hunt for surf. He logged some important time on the North Shore of Oahu and, given his goofy-foot stance, had a heap of fun scoring Rocky Lefts.
To say the kid’s been living up to the hype lately would be a huge understate. We can’t wait to see what he does next.
Hayden has a profile on our app (Stact) and video footage from Huntington Beach and NSSA Salt Creek!
Our app allows athletes and parents like Hayden to review their performance both by heat and video!
