USD junior Hunter Pflueger is living a double life. From Nui Valley, Honolulu, Hawai’i, this real estate and finance major also holds the title of world champion. After competing for Team USA in the International Surfing Competition (ISA) World Championships in 2019, Pflueger is a world champion in prone distance paddling at only 21 years old.
Prone paddle boarding is a sport that requires competitors to use only the strength of their arms and the energy of the waves they can catch to propel them forward.
