Tanner hails from the outer island of Maui and along with the other Maui groms coming up through the Hawaiian ranks, he has a well rounded surfing arsenal. He is a natural footer with a quick crisp style. He can be found ripping Honolua on the best days and tapping into his local spots when the conditions are right. Tanner prefers the X-16 shortboard and often rides X-Ups and Semi-Guns.
