back to talking about the Surf to Aloha event held at Kewalos’ by Kewalo’s locals.
it was a very good turnout. stoked to see locals supporting locals.
omg, i remember when Kewalo’s use to look like this back in the 1980’s. our parents use to drop us off and we would hang out there all day long. surf and make trouble. haha…
pretty happy to see my nephews supporting the locals that saved Kewalo’s from development. Joshua on the left, Seth and Isaiah on the right. good boys!
it was fascinating to hear the stories from the old time locals. 
Carissa Moore and Seth Moniz talked about localism and treating the Uncles with respect. both of these surfers are welcomed anywhere around the world so that tell you something. 
one of the Kewalo’s boys came up and explained how Kewalo’s use to be. if you drop in, you get punched out. that’s the part i love about surfing out there. absolutely no clowns…
so happy to take Seira-chan with me because this was a very important topic for every one of my students. i always teach them respect because if you respect others, they will respect you. simple…
a message from Mr. Duke Kahanamoku…
super happy to see Seth Moniz showing up and representing Hawaii with so much respect. everybody always tells me how respectful Seth is where ever he goes. to me, that is more important than how he surfs. in Hawaii, respect is everything. if you show respect, you are welcomed. but if you don’t show respect, please feel free to leave our island. simple…
