Watch: Meet Kehu Butler, the 20-Year-Old Rising Surf Star From Mount Maunganui, NZ
COASTALWATCH | BEST OF THE WEB
If you don't know of Kehu Butler yet, there’s no better way to get acquainted with the young man than with this excellent clip. We get a glimpse into the 20 year old rising surf star’s life in Mount Maunganui, Aotearoa as well as a beautiful insight into his rich culture. And, of course, we see him shred with the smooth power that made him the Australasian Junior Champ back in 2018 and one to watch out for in the future. Plus, he has some, ahh, pretty colourful things to say about New Zealand pies versus Aussie pies.

WEST COAST? EAST COAST? IT’S PUMPING EVERYWHERE!
Well, almost all. But definitely a solid weekend ahead.
