Hawaii update by Raul:
Yuri Soledad is a complete surfer. He is a stand out in Jaws. He is one of the pioneers in surfing big waves in Maui. Him and his friends dominate paddle or town in in Jaws. All you have to do is go to Jaws when waves are going off and you will quickly now how he controls everything when surf pics up.
He looks for big waves around the globe.
Yuri just got a 4 board quiver with KEAHANA to Surf this winter in Maui. 5'11, 6'4, 6'8, 7'2
He is a family man with 3 kids and is a co-owner of one of the top restaurant in Paia Maui - " Paia Fish Market".
One the most important jobs for Yuri is to coach grommet Ian Gentil. Ian just signed with Billabong has very good chances to get on the WCT elite.
