Ko Molokai Keiki `O Ke Kai News Release

Early morning rain and clouds did not keep away 50 keiki surfers, who participated in the second summer surf meet on June 23 at Waialua beach. It was a bit challenging, with conditions including an extremely low tide, a huge sidelong sandbar and the chilly waters of Waialua stream. But the kids all took turns showing their skills riding waves; some catching their own waves, getting rides to the beach and doing awesome tricks. Participants were treated to a bunch of stickers, a bar of wax and even some birthday cupcakes. Thanks to everyone who came out. What a fun day!

The last meet of the summer, with potluck pa`ina lunch and awards ceremony, will be held on July 7. Everyone please bring your Keiki Surf shirt, new or old, so we can take a group photo. Registration opens at 9:30 a.m. and the meet begins at 10:30 a.m. All skill levels welcome. Call 558-8110 if you need more info.

Thank you Molokai and to Friendly Isle United Fund for continued support of Ko Molokai Keiki O Ke Kai Summer Surf Series. We hope to see you keiki surfers there!
