With two American surfers from Hawaii, world champions Carissa Moore and John John Florence, already on the roster, a third island surfing legend was added to Team USA earlier this week. Kailua-Kona’s Shane Dorian was selected as head coach of the United States surfing team for next month’s Paris Olympics. “It’s surreal, to be honest,” Dorian said. “I’ve said that to my family and my kids and everything. It’s like I grew up watching the Olympics. It was such a big part of my household. Whenever it was on, whether it be the Summer Olympics or the Winter Olympics, it was such a big deal. So to have the chance and opportunity to be a part of it and to work with these athletes and go to the Olympics is just, I mean, I got to pinch myself, right?”
