It didn’t take long for San Clemente-born ripper Kolohe “Brother” Andino to begin to have an influence on the surfing world. With his smooth, new-school style, Brother has established and maintained a position in the spotlight for nearly a decade. Everyone is watching – from groms to the media to seasoned A-list pros. His supreme natural talent mixed with his passion, good genes (son to surf legend Dino Andino) and determination have resulted in some major results and a spot on the prestigious ASP World Tour.
