Casey Brown represented the Big Island (Hawaii) at a surfing contest at Kewalo Basin yesterday.
Because he did so well, he'll get to represent the entire state in October.
Brown was one of 19 youth surfers selected to represent Hawai'i at the International Surfing Association World Junior Championships, Oct. 8 to 16 at Huntington Beach, Calif.
"I love Hawai'i and I want to represent it the best I can," said Brown, 17 and a junior at Thompson. "What I like about this one is that it's not a self-contest. You're there as a team. It's almost like a basketball game where you have to do your part, but you also depend on your teammates."
More than 60 surfers from around the state tried out for the team.
