Story & Photos John Carter
Raised on the north shore of Maui and son of world famous sail designer, it’s hardly surprising that Graham Ezzy has become one of the most prominent wave riders on the planet. But cutting loose with the most radical windsurfers in the world at Ho’okipa is just one facet of Graham’s incredible talents.
Back in 2009 he gained a place at the prestigious Princeton University. Four years later, with an English Literature degree secured, Ezzy Jnr. is back in Hawai’i mixing up his progressive style of wave sailing with his writing aspirations.
We despatched Windsurf’s heavyweight intellectual protagonist, John ‘Three A-levels’ Carter for a highbrow cross-examination of Graham, to find out more about his ambitions, life on Maui and a few insights into his latest literary projects.
