KAHUNA KUPUNA UPDATE! The 26th Annual Kahuna Kupuna Benefit Surf Contest is slated to take place on Saturday, June 27th at Linda Mar Beach from 7:30am to 5:00pm. It will be followed by a post-contest dinner and awards ceremony at the Pacifica Moose Lodge. Please mark your calendars and come join us as a contestant, spectator, volunteer and/or sponsor. A new contest planning committee has come together to assist contest founder Roy Earnest to ensure that the "KUPUNA" continues for years to come. We would welcome a few more people to join the planning committee who can attend about 6 more one-hour meetings between now and the day of the Kupuna and be available to assist with various contest related tasks in the weeks leading up to and including the day of the contest on June 27th. If you're interested, please send an email to kahunakupunasurf@gmail.com and we'll get back to you. Aloha! by @kahunakupuna
Registration for the @kahunakupuna may now be closed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still win a lean 9-0 Crespi mini-glider at the contest raffle. The heat schedule has been emailed out and all the silver surfers are frothing and rattling their canes. 🩼 Come on down and join @agewaver and his team of stoked and wise elders for a day of joy and frolicking in the sand and surf. Short boarding may be a challenge, but loggers should find a few ankle slappers to play with. Mahalos go out to @sammyb9sam and @pacificaboardfactory for the clean lam and fine pinlines on the raffle board. @ppsc_official @pacificbeachcoalition #surfboard #hotdogloggers #kahunakapuna #glider #hulldesign #simmons #dontbeasheep🐏 by @kahunakupuna

Interesting idea. by @kahunakupuna
Always stoked to provide a special raffle board for the @kahunakupuna surf contest for mature surfers over 40. This is my favorite comp of the year, with full credit to @agewaver and his merry band of grey disciples. Comp is less than a week away and will only take entries at the beach now. This is a 9-7 moontail noserider design that has proven its versatility in local waters. It features a wedge dark wood split stringer in a @usblanks build, with blank stain in between and a light grey resin tint on top. Mahalos to @strive_surfboards for this unique build for a truly venerable and epic contest. You gotta be at Linda Mar Beach and buy tix on July 13 to win it. The forecast looks decent with light NW windswell, south winds, and medium tides. See ya there! 🤙🏼😎#surfboard #longboard #log #tenover #toesonthenose #dontbeasheep🐏 by @kahunakupuna
