Brother’s career as a surfer has just begun and he’s already seen the spotlight of surf stardom. Three NSSA National titles have vaulted him into it. In 2007 he wrapped up his third NSSA National title along with a Junior USA championship in the Boy’s Under 14 division at the SIMA Surfing America USA Championships, a win that also secured his spot on the 2008 USA Surf Team. Father Dino has put Kolohe in a good position to have a long and fruitful career as a professional surfer. The sponsors are there, the industry knows him and the world’s best surfers want to hang out with him. Not many 13-year-old surfers share video sections with Taj Burrow and Joel Parkinson, hang out with Slater at contests or ride for a cell phone company. Then again, not many 13 year olds surf as good as the little Andino does.

A-List BFF: Brother has been seen posting up with the world’s best at high profile venues, talking surf with Slater and critiquing vid clips with Parko. Go to work with Dad day isn’t about playing on a game boy in the corner of the office, it’s about chilling with the world’s best surfers at places like J-Bay. 

Big Corpo Connection: Billabong and Boost Mobile 

Arch Rival: Parko said he’s hoping to still be on tour when Brother qualifies. Does that make him a potential candidate.

Greatest Hits: Three-time NSSA national champ, Frothing vid segment.

Master of This Domain: Not just a T-street grom anymore, at 13, Kolohe is already a seasoned globetrotter with a video segment in Billabong’s Frothing to show for it. 

Career Lowlight: Brother has had a number of disappointing amateur losses, but they don’t mean anything in the long run if he keeps a cool head. 

Bling Factor: The newest Boost Mobile accessories.

Red Carpet Moment: A number of NSSA banquet speeches, plenty of in-the-lime-light moments to come.

Evidence of Aquatic Prowess: Search his name on the net and you’ll get piles of footage to check, or, and I know I’ve referenced a few times (but it’s only because he’s that good), just watch his section from Frothing.  Andy, Parko and Taj’s comments on Borther’s surfing in the flick affirm his future promise.  

California Roots:  Son of Bud Surf Tour icon Dino Andino, if Brother wants a wave in Cali, you’d better let him have it.
