Hawaii Surf Session Report - is a video podcast that features surf sessions from some of the most popular surf locations in Hawai’i.

The Kamehameha Statue stands prominently in front of Ali’iolani Hale in Honolulu, Hawai’i. The statue had it’s origins in 1878 when Walter Gibson, a member of the Hawaiian government at the time, wanted to commemorate the 100 year “discovery” of Hawai’i by Captain Cook. The legislature appropriated $10,000 for the project and made Gibson the director of the project, which originally included native Hawaiians but they soon were off the project and Gibson ran the project by himself. Gibson contacted Thomas R. Gould a Boston sculptor living abroad in Florence, Italy to create the statue.

During this time David Kalakaua had become king and was completing Iolani Palace which was his tribute to Kamehameha and to be the destination of the statue. The statue was too late for the 100 year anniversary but in 1883 the statue was placed aboard a ship and headed for Hawai’i. In the proximity of Falkland Islands the ship wrecked and with it the statue, however the Hawaiians had insured the statue for $12,000 and Gould rushed to complete a second.

Before the second statue could be sent the original had been recovered by some Falkland Islanders. They sold it to the Captain of the wrecked ship for $500 and the Captain then sold it to Gibson for $875. Now Hawai’i had two statues. The original stands at the legendary king’s birthplace of Kapa’au in Kohala, on the island of Hawaii. The re-ordered one stands in front of Ali’iolani Hale.

A third statue was commissioned when Hawai’i attained statehood and was unveiled in 1969. It now stands in the United States Capitol alongside the Father Damien Statue and is the heaviest statue, weighing 15,000 pounds. Another replica of the Kohala statue now resides on the Big Island. It was recently placed near downtown Hilo at the north end of the Wailoa State Recreation area, where it enjoys a king’s view of Hilo Bay.

Carissa Moore, one of our Roxy team surf riders, is ripping it up. Watch this video of her surfing in Hawaii. She grew up by Diamond Head, in Waikiki, which has long stretches of beach and lots of fun waves. Carissa Moore had a segment in Young Guns Three and this is some of the footage from the movie. In this segment Carissa talks about what inspires her, her favorite surf spots, and what it is like growing up in Hawaii.

Waikiki is a neighborhood of Honolulu, in the City & County of Honolulu, on the south shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Waikiki Beach is the shoreline fronting Waikiki and one of the best known beaches in the world. The neighborhood extends from the Ala Wai Canal on the west and north, to Diamond Head (L??ahi) on the east. The name means spouting fresh water in Hawaiian for springs and streams that fed wetlands that once separated Waikiki from the interior. Waikiki has long been a place of relaxation. In particular, the area was a retreat for Hawaiian royalty in the 1800s.

Today the neighborhood and beach are considered the center of the tourist industry in Hawaii, with an abundance of both high-rise resort hotels (including the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the Halekulani hotel, the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, and the Sheraton Waikiki) and historic hotels dating back to the early 20th century (such as the Moana Surfrider Hotel and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel).
