"\"&lt;p&gt;Am I crazy, or does Maui have the best crop of mid-20&amp;#8217;s surfers in the world? They&amp;#8217;ve got Albee, Meola, Barger, Clay, Tanner Hendrickson, and probably a few others I&amp;#8217;m forgetting. Something about those blustery trades and wild seas have spawned a generation of wave wallopers that are unreasonably talented both above and below the lip. The thing is, most of them don&amp;#8217;t really dig the contest grind. Out of the above names, Tanner is the only one making a concerted effort to qualify for the Tour, which he proved he is capable of when he took\\u00a02nd at last year&amp;#8217;s US Open.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;However, there is one more Maui surfer who has made a career out of competition, and that&amp;#8217;s Granger Larsen. An absolute powerhouse in the NSSAs, Granger joined the QS with dreams of continuing his competition demolition all the ay to the big leagues. After a couple years finishing\\u00a0&lt;em&gt;just\\u00a0&lt;\\/em&gt;outside the qualification mark, Granger has had to refocus and reinvigorate his surfing to stay near the top of the pack. Although he&amp;#8217;s off to a rough start, we wouldn&amp;#8217;t be surprised to find Granger on a few podiums this year if he&amp;#8217;s able to lay some rail in the water during his heats. See above for evidence.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
