Each year over one hundred keiki from The Boys and Girls Club of Hawaii have the opportunity to spend a day at Kailua’s Kalama Beach learning ocean sports and fitness.
For over 20 years HIC has partnered with the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation (ODKF) and the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii (BGCH) to give Hawaii youth the opportunity to learn to surf, bodyboard, paddle canoe and play volleyball. All in the spirit of Duke Kahanamoku.
The participating keiki come from five Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii locations around Oahu, including Waianae, Nanakuli, Ewa Beach, Honolulu and Windward Oahu. For many of the keiki this is their first opportunity to learn to surf, even though they have grown up in the birthplace of the sport.
Mahalo to all of the volunteers who share their expertise and aloha with Hawaii's youth year after year. Aloha.
