SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – For Kolohe Andino, the road to Tokyo has been one on which he’s grown up.

Surfing on the professional tour since the age of 18, Andino is now primed to be a key athlete in Team USA’s chances in the sport’s inaugural run at the Olympics.

“For me, I want to beat everyone, every session, and be a monster,” Andino said.
