Ewing is a regular and tends to prioritize the more traditional Aussie lineup with a power surf. However, the "Aussie" also shows he can do airs, proving that at the 2023 Surf Ranch.[3]

Surfing career

In 2016, at the age of 18, he raised his level and was World Junior Champion[4] and came second in the Qualifying Series, and qualified for the World Surf League (WCT) surfing.

He spent 3 years out of the professional surfing elite until returning in 2021.[5] After a long adjustment, Ewing finally got into his stride on the Tour and won his first elite event in 2022 in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa,[6][7] and secured a spot at the WSL Finals event, finishing fourth in the world.[8] Since then he achieved another iconic event victory at Bells Beach in April 2023.[9] Accompanied by strong performances at the VIVO Rio Pro, Corona Open J-Bay & Surf Ranch Pro; with respective results of 2nd,[10] 2nd[11] and 3rd.[12]
