Aloha Board shop Honolulu - Fish Fry 2011 presented by Oxbow

THE FIRST ALOHA BOARDSHOP HONOLULU FISH FRY PRESENTED BY OXBOW BRINGS HUNDREDS TO WAIKIKI FOR SURF, FUN AND SUN.

July 11, 2011 HONOLULU, HI - The first Aloha Boardshop's Honolulu Fish Fry presented by Oxbow, took place this weekend with scenic weather conditions, light trade winds and a 4-8 ft. south swell at Queen's break in Waikiki. Hundreds of beach goers were in attendance to enjoy a new type of surf festival that aims to highlight the technical shape and beauty of surfboards and the pure delight of wave riding.

 
The weekend long event opened with the team division on Saturday followed by the individuals Sunday. An array of colorful team names and participants dawning stick on mustaches and stocking up on free gelato and sun block lined up to draw from the designated raffle bin and randomly select their "fish tail" surf board for each heat. Oxbow team rider and ASP World Longboard Champion, Duane DeSoto, and his son were on hand to represent the Oxbow team, while legendary Hawaiian longboarder, China Uemura, put together a crew of local beach boys and girl, who lightheartedly named their group The Longboarders Suck.
 
Surf photographers paddled out to the lineup to snap pictures of all the fun in the water, while the local crowd on land took part in raffle prizes, free giveaways and sample demonstrations provided by the sponsors of the event. Aloha Boardshop donated over a dozen surfboards and served as the official event MC.
