Traktor Team Tokyo Quivers

Thursday, 22 July 2021 4:13:00 pm Australia/Sydney

Next stop, Tokyo. We’ve got five incredible ambassadors for surfing and their respective nations set to compete in Japan as our sport makes its debut on the world stage.

JS made sure the Traktor Team’s quivers would have them ready for anything. From new model prototypes and a mind blowing construction that’ll provide an edge in even the smallest, weakest conditions, to their favourite high performance shortboards. And with a typhoon in the forecast likely to provide at least one day of quality surf, we’ll probably see just about every single board come into play. Board breakdowns, below:

Welcome to the Traktor Team Kauli Vaast

Wednesday, 19 May 2021 10:24:00 am Australia/Sydney

"I want to surf faster, higher and stronger than ever before. Riding the Traktors, I know I'll achieve my goals."  

Kauli Vaast surfed in his first CT event as a 17-year-old local wildcard at Teahupo’o, and threaded tube after tube until one of his heroes, Jeremy Flores, knocked him out in the round before the quarters. Ever since then Kauli's surfing has grown up quickly, blowing minds from giant tubes to winning contests in tiny beachbreaks, and everything in between. After working with him sporadically for the last several years, we’re proud to officially welcome Kauli Vaast to the Traktor Team.

Clip & board breakdowns, below.
