Surfing
Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer (or two in tandem surfing), uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found on ocean shores, but can also be found in standing waves in the open ocean, in lakes, in rivers in the form of a tidal bore, or in wave pools. The term ''surfing'' refers to a person riding a wave using a board, regardless of the stance. There are several types of boards. The Moche of Peru would often surf on reed craft, while the native peoples of the Pacific surfed waves on alaia, paipo, and other such water craft. Ancient cultures often surfed on their belly and knees, while the modern-day definition of surfing most often refers to a surfer riding a wave standing on a surfboard; this is also referred to as stand-up surfing. Another prominent form of surfing is body boarding, where a surfer rides ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Save Our Surf
Save Our Surf (SOS) was a community environmental organization that protested off-shore development, the destruction of local surfing spots and the suburbanization of Oʻahu's coastlines. The founder and principal spokesman for the group was John M. Kelly, Jr. As described by Kelly in 1971, the SOS strategy was based on three simple concepts: respect the intelligence of the people, get the facts to them and help the people develop an action program. Using old fashioned political techniques – hand-bills, demonstrations and colorful presentations at public meetings – SOS quickly developed strong grassroots support in the community at large and expanded to mobilize forces from the community for confrontations with the establishment in the era of "people power". History Save Our Surf was started in late 1964 by Kelly as a protest organization. The goal of SOS, Kelly said then, was to advocate for surfers by preserving surfing sites, promoting surfer safety and creating a positive ...

Kalama Valley Protests
The Kalama Valley Protests occurred in 1971. The protesters were acting against the eviction of low-income farmers to redevelop the land as a resort area. The Kalama Valley Protests are known for sparking the Hawaiian Renaissance. Protest In the 1950s Henry J. Kaiser moved to Hawaii, where he developed Hawaii Kai, a planned residential community on Oahu's southeastern coast. Hawaii Kai was next to Kalama Valley, an existing community of working-class Hawaii locals. Before Kaiser's development plan, the land was a salt-water marsh, much like Waikiki before the construction of the Ala Wai canal. The land in Kalama Valley was owned by the Bishop Trust, who leased land to farmers living in the valley. High housing costs meant that most Hawaii residents could not afford to buy a home, and many residents of the valley had previously been evicted from zones that had been designated for redevelopment. Kalama Valley was rezoned from agricultural to urban land in 1968. Bishop Trust tol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Waiāhole-Waikāne Struggle
The Waiāhole-Waikāne Struggle was an influential anti-eviction movement in the U.S. state of Hawaii during the 1970s. Background After the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, Lincoln Loy McCandless acquired two hundred acres of land, including the Waiāhole and Waikane, Waikāne valleys. He began building the Waiāhole Ditch in 1913. When it was completed in 1917, it siphoned water from Oahu's rainy windward side to the dry leeward plains, where many Sugar plantations in Hawaii, sugar plantations were. This limited Taro, kalo cultivation by Native Hawaiians and farming by other ethnic groups living in the valleys. Many lived and farmed on land leased from McCandless in a system similar to sharecropping. After McCandless's death, ownership passed to his daughter, Elizabeth Marks. Struggle After Hawaii Admission Act, Hawaii became a state in 1959, Marks decided to partner with developer Joe Pao to develop the valleys as suburbs. After the Land Use Commission denied their ...

Kahoolawe has always been sparsely populated, due to its lack of fresh water.
