Hayden Rodgers Makes World Tour Debut | Irvine News

Hayden Rodgers made his World Tour debut at the Trestles Pro, narrowly losing to Eli Hanneman by 0.06 points—but for Rodgers, it’s a monumental win after overcoming a life-threatening drowning accident at age 14 that sidelined his pro surfing dreams for years. Now competing on the Challenger Series and finishing third at the US Open, he’s rising fast, fueled by grit and gratitude. Hanneman praised Rodgers’ growth, while both surfers battled tough, choppy conditions that forced a pause. With top names like Medina and Colapinto still in the mix, the Trestles Pro continues through September 20th, weather-dependent, as organizers watch the waves closely.
