My name is Evan MacElwee, I was born and raised in Costa Mesa, California, and I’ve been in the water my entire life. I grew up playing water polo, and today I'm a student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa living on the South Shore of O'ahu as a competitive longboarder, an avid prone paddler, and an aspiring big wave surfer. I love the water and everything about it.
