Makoa Gomez
The Volcanic Mile
01/29/2026 - 22:40
At just 17, Makoa Gomez is already stacking more barrels than most surfers do in a lifetime.
Born and raised in front of one of Europe’s heaviest waves, El Quemao, he’s been charging since day one powered by his dad, the legendary Charly Gomez, and the whole locals crew that shaped him.
A Volcom kid since birth, Makoa is now one of the leading forces of the Volcom Surf Team. And he’s only getting started...
Think curly hair, nonstop energy, sugar‑rush intensity, bus‑sized barrels and gnarly waves: that’s Makoa.
