HOW TO BECOME AN ESA ALL-STAR
ESA’s All-Stars are made up of the best up-and-coming surfers along the East Coast who are dedicated ESA members. Team members gain valuable training from world-class surf coaches, travel as a team building life-long relationships and become exposed within the surfing industry through the ESA by the organization’s marketing, press releases, webcasts, etc.
Former ESA Team members include Kelly Slater, Shea Lopez, Cory Lopez, Ben Bourgeois, Leah Thompson, Chris Baiata, Jeremy Saukel, Sam Hammer, Brian Stoehr, Tyler Calloway (FCS), ESA Icon Eric Taylor, Jamie DeWitt, Zander Morton, David Awbrey, Cassidy McClain, Blayr Barton, Simon Hetrick, Josh Richardson and Todd Kinsey. The team is our pride and are the ambassadors of the world’s largest and most effective surfing organization.
2025 esa hawaii trip
Invitations for the team trip to Hawaii will be for the older ESA All-Star Team members who Coach Motes and the All-Star Team committee feel are ready for Hawaii and are in regular participation as an All-Star. The ESA reserves the right to offer invitations to whoever they see as a good fit for this specific training and/or necessary for the logistics of the trip. The ESA does not guarantee every team member will receive an invitation. This trip offers an amazing team experience with professional surf coaches who work with some of the best in the world. Memories and friendships to last a lifetime.
