International pro surfer Kanoa Igarashi’s third signature model

Introducing the third signature model from pro surfer Kanoa Igarashi, a mainstay in the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour, the world’s ultimate pro-surfing series. Based on the G-LIDE GLX-5600 watch for extreme sports, this new model boasts a mixed-color resin bezel and band that represent dynamic waves, with Igarashi’s signature in different places on the watch itself.

Kanoa Igarashi

Born in Huntington Beach, California, Kanoa Igarashi began surfing at the age of three, inspired by his parents' deep connection to the ocean. His early passion quickly evolved into exceptional talent, and he rose through the junior ranks with a string of standout performances across the U.S.

In 2016, Kanoa made his debut on the world’s biggest stage, becoming the youngest surfer ever to qualify for the WSL Championship Tour. In 2019, he captured his first CT event win—making history as the first Asian surfer to top the podium.

Kanoa represented Japan at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, where surfing debuted as an official event, and earned a silver medal under global spotlight. The following year, he claimed the world title at the ISA World Surfing Games, winning every heat from start to finish.

As of July 2025, Kanoa is ranked No. 3 in the WSL World Rankings. With his eyes set on the CT championship and the upcoming Olympic Games in his hometown of Los Angeles, he continues to push the limits of competitive surfing—driven by pride, precision, and purpose.

An exterior design that expresses the fierce waves surfers face in the challenging world of surfing

The bezel and band feature mixed-colour moulding, the interplay of black and grey evoking vigorous waves. They are made with bio-based resin, which is expected to help reduce environmental impact. A black ion-plated bumper protector adds to the toughness of the watch.

Glass vapour disposition in a gold hue adds a special touch to the simple iconic face. Igarashi’s signature graces the centre top and lights up with the EL backlight.
