    What's in a name

    By Jake Howard

    Published Sunday October 28, 2012


    Mikey Wright, little brother to ASP stalwart Owen Wright, is coming up quick. A multitalented, multidimensional regular-footer, given the trajectory he's on it may not be too many more seasons until he joins his big brother on tour. And to that end, his partner in crime Leonardo Fioravanti, who already ranks as the best surfer to ever come out of Italy, could very well join him. Between pro junior comps and other teen obligations, the two escaped to Indo for a little "training." They're going to be a force in the not too distant future, here's a quick look at what's to come.
