Since his entry into the Junior World Surf League in 2012 at age 11, Mamiya has established himself as "one of the most promising young surfers" in the world. His surfing stance is regular, and his specialities include aerial maneuvers and big-wave barrels.
Active on the Junior Tour since 2012, Mamiya "flourished" as a surfer in 2017; winning three WSL Junior Hawaii Pros. He was crowned champion in the Sunset Pro Junior, Papara Pro Junior Tahiti and Pipe Pro Junior while claiming the runner-up position in the Hurley Surf Club Pro Junior. He managed an average of 13.72 in per heat and 4.28 per wave over the four competitions.
Mamiya backed these performances with similarly strong results in 2018, placing in the top three of each event he competed in. He placed third in the Sunset Pro Junior, was runner-up in both the HYSDO Pro Junior at Turtle Bay Resort and Pipe Pro Junior and won the Men's Jr. Vans US Open of Surfing. Barron averaged a score of 12.18 per heat and 3.55 per wave over the four competitions.
He has also been active in the Qualifying Tour competition since 2015. While only competing in three events over the 2015 and 2016 seasons, 2017 saw a significant rise in Mamiya's involvement. In 2017 he began to achieve greater results in competitions such as: Sunset Open (ninth), Papara Pro Open Tahiti (ninth) and the Vans World Cup (fifth). These achievements improved his ranking heading into the 2018 season in which he competed in eight events, with his career best result coming at the Burton Automotive Pro in Australia, where he lost to Mikey Wright in the final. His most recent qualifying tour event, the Sunset Open in Hawaii, resulted in fourth place in late January 2018. Mamiya was knocked out by fellow Hawaii local, Billy Kemper.
Mamiya is currently ranked 31st in the Men's Qualifying Tour 2018, recording nine heat wins, an average heat score of 12.05 and wave score of 3.35.
In May 2018, Barron gained entry into the first event on the Championship Tour with a wild-card allocation into the Men's Corona Bali Protected event. He was granted entry after the withdrawal of American surfer Kelly Slater.
Prior to the event, in an interview with Michael Ciaramella from Stab magazine Mamiya stated that he felt "no pressure at all" and appreciated the opportunity to express himself free from the usual weight of expectation. His inclusion in this event reflects his growing influence in the surfing world.
He came away in 25th place and managed an average heat score of 7.06 and average wave score of 2.82. His inclusion in the Bali Protected gave him the ranking of equal 44th in the current Men's Championship rankings.
