Biography

Shane Dorian is one of the most respected big-wave surfers on the planet. After a stellar career on the World Championship Tour—including a 4th place overall finish in 2000—Shane shifted his focus to chasing giant swells across the globe, solidifying his legacy as a pioneer in big-wave surfing. Beyond the surf, Shane is an avid bowhunter, often found tracking axis deer in his home state of Hawaii. He's also a devoted father to two children, balancing his adventurous lifestyle with family life. A true elder statesman of the sport, Shane continues to redefine what’s possible in the ocean. Follow his always-entertaining journey on Instagram, where he shares surfing, wilderness, travel, and everything in between.
