Aloha! My name is Zane Kekoa Schweitzer, I am 24 years old and from Maui, Hawai'i. I'm an Ocean Enthusiast, Professional Athlete and certified Water sports instructor. I take pride in my philanthropic work and non-profits I've helped to start such as StandUp For The Cure and InZane SUPer Groms. I look forward to connecting with communities when I travel - through speaking engagements, workshops and events on and off the water.I am a third generation Professional Waterman, Ocean Advocate and (I've been told) a master story-teller. I have the family, the history and the gift, for which I am grateful, to have excelled in every action sport that has been a part of my life so far. Following in my parents' footstep's (Dad, Matt, is an as 18X world Champion and my mother, Shawneen also was a World Champion in Windsurfing), I began my career as a child. Traveling with my best friend, Connor Baxter, and sponsored by Starboard (for my entire career) we competed in windsurfing, gradually adding surfing, then Standup racing and surfing. Each opportunity I have to speak to audiences young or old, in water sports or beyond, is a chance to share inspiration, solid practices that can create a "deep blue lifestyle," and easy to implement action steps. Contact me on Facebook to schedule a speaking event.I had the honor of participating in Parley for the Oceans - Ocean School in the spring of 2017. This experience is detailed in my book, and it changed my perspective on what "living a full life" means to me. 2016 and 2017 Ultimate Waterman World Champion13 World Championship Competitions won combined between the sports of Windsurfing and Stand Up Paddling.Co.
