Kazuma protégé, Kai Barger wins the 2009 US Open pro jr

Kai Barger wins another major surfing event the US open pro jr.

Kai has been a Kazuma student since he was 10 years old and is one the reigning world junior surfing champion. Kai and my son Chaz are both goofy footed and have trained in my exact surfing style and technique. It is fun to train these 2 kids that are a mirror of my surfing and it makes it easy to understand the mechanics of their surfing. Now Chaz, who is 12, is riding the exact copies of the boards that Kai won the NSSA Nationals with back when he was 12 years old. Proven product, proven training program.

Congratulations Kai, we are all so proud of you.
