ALOHA...Skull Candy's Hawaii State Surfing Championships for 2012 are complete, summer's on the verge of blasting in on us (or not) and with a bunch of classic and one-off events scheduled for town over the next two months. We're looking at AUGUST 4/5 for HSA Event #1 at Queens, but Ladies, don't forget the ROXY WAHINE CLASSIC at Queens June 15-17th. PLUS, sign up now for the annual Local Motion's Surf Into Summer coming up May 26-28th at Bowls. Oakley and Rip Curl meets run July 6 and 7th. Arnett's Grom event plays out July 8th @ Kewalo's. And through all those dates DON'T FORGET we'll all be there the morning of June 2nd for a clean-up of Kewalo Basin Park. Bring some gloves, a couple BIG bags and we'll all pitch in to take care of our favorite surf park on the south shore.

Formed in the early 60's as the "Hawaii Surfing Association" the
original 'grouping' of amateur and professional surfers from
throughout our island state was organized under this HSA banner for
competition and recognition by the other worldwide associations. The
structure of the HSA was to promote the sport and competitions at
different locales. The creation of community and regional surfing
teams in that era helped to elevate the HSA's recognized stature on
an international level that found only Australia as a true rival in
organized surfing. Today surfing as a sport, in the eyes of the HSA,
represents a commitment on the part of its directors and officials to
help members focus on their athletic skills, physical training and
short and long term surfing goals toward a professional career. Of
equal importance is the commitment on behalf of the HSA's leadership
to help its members maintain good guidance, educational direction and
responsibility to their families and others within their community.
