Jeff Hubbard and Spencer Skipper are putting on a Free Bodyboarding and Ocean Education day at Waimanalo Bay Beach on Saturday June 21st.
They have focused on mostly on the Waimanalo area so far as well as under privileged and troubled youths as we are hoping to broaden their horizons so to speak and get them involved with the ocean, and bodyboarding is a great first step on that journey.
They also have the Hawaii lifeguard association coming down to provide safety tips an demonstrations to the youths. Malama Hawaii will also be down at the beach with us and is going to educate the youths on the environmental aspects of the beaches, reefs and oceans (it is International Year Of the Reef) and how to be better steward of this precious natural resource.
There will be autographs and demonstrations from the pros as well as prizes for every one who enters so every one is a winner and the youth will also be able to win free bodyboards and accessories throughout the day. The event is free but we are asking for a canned good donation to support the Hawaii food bank. Every canned good donation will get a t-shirt. The age divisions are, 8 and under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-15.
And we will have boards and fins for the people to use, just in case they do not have their own.
It should be a lot of fun for everyone we have a few bands coming down and free food for the kids so come on down.
