Paddle Out at Hapuna: Solidarity In Surf
We stand with those who are calling out systemic racism in America. We stand with those in sorrow over the senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Dion Johnson and countless others. Enough is enough. We stand with the Black Lives Matter movement & people of color that have been disadvantaged. We call on businesses and the government to address racism & make lasting change in our society. We have work to do.
