Watch: Australian Surfing Sensation Shines With Spectacular Wave Maneuvers Ahead of Major WSL Event

Australian surfer Ethan Ewing is now well-known within the surfing community. This year in the WSL, Ewing has experienced the whole gamut of emotions, from early eliminations to thrilling podium finishes. The surfer is a strong opponent since he has already qualified for the 2024 Olympics in Paris and the Rip Curl Finals this season. Ewing also reached the finals of the recent Corona Open J-Bay, although he was ultimately beaten by Brazilian surfer Filipe Toledo. Still, the Aussie is back in the water and getting ready for the WSL event in French Polynesia.

The Outerknown Tahiti Pro Trials are set to take place at one of the island nation’s grandest venues, Teahupo’o. There is zero tolerance for wipeouts in such waves. The forthcoming WSL event is crucial for Australian surfer Ethan Ewing’s quest for the yellow jersey and the world championship. The surfer isn’t wasting any time and has already started training and documenting a variety of moves for his legions of Instagram fans to see.

Ahead of the big surfing event

While most of the world’s top surfers are resting up for August’s Tahiti Pro, one Aussie is already out there pulling off impressive moves. Since the WSL season’s scoring system has generated so much controversy, no surfer worth their salt would dare leave the outcome to chance. In the Instagram video, Ethan Ewing displays a wide range of tricks, beginning with a slow-motion cutback that demonstrates the Australian’s expert control of his surfboard.

However, as he continues to ride down the wave, the surfer doesn’t stop at just one cutback; he does it again. In addition, Ewing is dedicated to the same wave, riding it with additional cutbacks and slides. There are no airs or barrels in this clip, but the surfer demonstrates his strength on the waves and his potential in the next competition with grace and ease.

Earlier this season, Ewing was struggling, but he has made tremendous progress this year. The surfer is still striving to win the world title at the conclusion of the season and is thus pursuing the yellow jersey.

A feat to remember

Although Ethan Ewing has had a number of podium results this year, the one he achieved in the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach is his favorite. In the finals, Ewing met Ryan Callinan. Ewing’s mother, Helen Lambert, had won the tournament in 1983, and for him, it was a big moment.

Both surfers were unable to rack up any points on the first wave. However, in the seventh wave, Ewing had a 6.83 and Callinan had a 5.73. As the waves petered out, the strain was mounting for both surfers. After that, Callinan got a 5.27. When Ewing rode out the final wave and scored a 7.67, he rang the bell 40 years after his mother did. For the Australian surfer, it was a moment he would never forget.
