"\"&lt;p&gt;After four productive &lt;a href=\\\"\\/features\\/training-sessions-with-the-pacsun-usa-surf-team\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;training camps&lt;\\/a&gt;, this year&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingamerica.org\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;PacSun USA Surf Team&lt;\\/a&gt; has been narrowed down to the twelve surfer travel squad. The selected twelve will be venturing to New Zealand this January for the &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.isasurf.org\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Quiksilver ISA World Junior Championships&lt;\\/a&gt; where they aim to keep Team USA&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=\\\"\\/features\\/pacsun-usa-surf-team-takes-gold-at-billabong-isa-world-surfing-games\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;fortune&lt;\\/a&gt; alive with another gold medal.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;It wasn&amp;#8217;t easy narrowing down this squad\\u2014I was present for a few of these and &lt;a href=\\\"\\/features\\/training-sessions-with-the-pacsun-usa-surf-team\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;head coach&lt;\\/a&gt; Ian &amp;#8220;Kanga&amp;#8221; Cairns really had his hands full making these decisions. America&amp;#8217;s top groms that we&amp;#8217;ve been hearing so much about for so long have finally seemed to make that pivotal jump from grommethood to legitimate pro junior. They continually push each other in the water and now have the filled out frames and added power to compete with the entire world.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Coach Cairns has fostered major improvement and a positive team atmosphere throughout these sessions. The team is slotted for a final training camp in early January before heading to New Zealand and will use this opportunity to give everything one last fine tuning. Let&amp;#8217;s hear it for Team USA.

Careless in the sense that he constantly puts it on the line in pursuit of landing something huge\\u2014and most of the time he does.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boys Under 16&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/h2&gt;\\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kolohe Andino&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/h3&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age:&lt;\\/strong&gt; 15&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Hometown:&lt;\\/strong&gt; San Clemente, CA&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000092629 alignnone\\\" title=\\\"Kolohe Andino\\\" src=\\\"\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2009\\/12\\/kolohe-open-winnerlow-res.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Kolohe Andino\\\" width=\\\"160\\\" height=\\\"170\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The most talked about 15-year-old surfer on the planet. He&amp;#8217;s finally filling into a bigger frame, which means the polished fins-free attack he&amp;#8217;s developed over the years has seen a surge of power behind it. This could mean lights out for everyone else. &lt;em&gt;Portrait: Toby Ogden&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jake Halstead&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/h3&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age:&lt;\\/strong&gt; 15 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hometown:&lt;\\/strong&gt; La Jolla, CA&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000092630 alignnone\\\" title=\\\"Jake Halstead\\\" src=\\\"\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2009\\/12\\/jakehalsteadport.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Jake Halstead\\\" width=\\\"160\\\" height=\\\"197\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Raised on the reefs of La Jolla, Jake Halstead goes for it.

And it seems that recently he&amp;#8217;s been putting his freesurfing abilities to full use in heats. When Parker&amp;#8217;s on he&amp;#8217;s hard to beat. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Girls Under 18&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/h2&gt;\\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Courtney Conlogue&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/h3&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age:&lt;\\/strong&gt; 17&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Hometown:&lt;\\/strong&gt; Santa Ana, CA&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000092637 alignnone\\\" title=\\\"Courtney Conlogue\\\" src=\\\"\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2009\\/12\\/courtneyconlogueport.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Courtney Conlogue\\\" width=\\\"160\\\" height=\\\"200\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Defending U.S. Open champ and took home the silver in last year&amp;#8217;s ISA Junior Championships.
