To witness this milestone in our lifetime is a powerful leap forward for our keiki o ka ‘āina—the future stewards of this ʻāina and culture we hold so dear. 🏄‍♀️💙

Surfing isn’t just a sport—it’s a classroom shaped by waves, winds, and ancestral wisdom. With its official recognition in Hawaiʻi’s high schools, we celebrate more than competition—we uplift a way of life rooted in culture, science, health, fitness, and deep respect for our environment.
