Surfing Walk of Fame Inductees

07.29.05 | Ramblings

Yesterday was the annual Surfing Walk of Fame induction that the HBISM plays a big part in. Unfortunately, work had to take priority, so I wasn’t able to be there for the ceremony and lunch afterwards. Major bummer.

This years’ inductees are:

• Buffalo Keaulana - Surf Pioneer
• David Nuuhiwa - Surf Champion
• Carl Hayward - Local Hero
• Kim “Danger Woman” Hamrock - Woman of the Year
• George Greenough - Surfing Culture
• Dr. Paul Morrow - Honor Roll

I’m honored that I’m able to be even remotely associated to these luminaries in the surfing world. Thanks go out to all for their selfless contribution to furthering the “Sport of Kings.”

While I’m at it, I’d like to take this time to publicly thank Dr. Morrow for his undying dedication in running the NSSA Juniors Division. If it weren’t for his efforts, there’d be a lot of lost kids in SoCal, including mine, since he’s also the Principal of our local middle school. When we moved to HB a little over 5 years ago, I’m positive his influence helped our oldest son, Kyle, adjust to the radical uprooting and replanting we forced onto him. Thanks again, Doc.
