Menehune beach bum boogie

With the Maui/Lanai team and Bangladesh team back home, we are all resting and planning for the next outreach. Surfing Middle East. The next international outreach is planned for Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. I am really excited for what is being planned for the trip. We will be holding the 2nd annual Aloha Surf Classic in Alexandria, Egypt, our biggest outreach of the trip. There will also be sandboarding lessons in the Jordanian desert and more surfing on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. As we near the trip dates we are continuing to fund-raise and plan more outreaches.

Meanwhile on the North Shore, we took part in the Menehune Surf Contest. We helped put on the event as the clean-up crew and beach clean-up coordinators. The entire event was successful, even though the waves were small. All of the kids had a blast. There were kids as young as 5 years old surfing the waves. It was awesome to help out with a surf contest, as it was my first time attending a surf contest. What also made my day was meeting and talking with Jack Johnson. Great day.
