For many of the teenagers in red shirts surfing at Ala Moana Bowls yesterday, it was their first time out, but they caught several 1- to 2-foot waves, some riding the ridge of water until it flattened out.
It was the first surf session by Surf 2 Serve, a new project that uses surfing to improve the lives of disadvantaged youth , especially those who live or have lived at the Next Step homeless shelter in Kakaako.

surfing, and was one of the most popular surfers in the early 80's. At
the age of 16, Dane took the Junior Men's State Championship and went on
to become the world AM Champion in South Africa. At age 18, he was

Japan and is known for its surfing. more

This past fall, legendary big wave rider, world champion surfer and Hall of Famer Dane Kealoha opened his Surf Academy in the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa in Waikiki. The transition from competitor, to soul surfer to teacher has been a long and arduous journey for

"the love" for people. more
