Paia Youth & Cultural Center BeachFest 20!

1/24/2017

 

By: Noelani Sugata

Executive Director, Paia Town Association

Paia Youth & Cultural Center‘s BEACHFEST 20 took place on January 21-22 at the Paia Bay on the North Shore of Maui.  BeachFest featured Maui’s young bodyboarders and surfers showcased their wave riding ability.  It was a great event for the community enjoyed by residents and visitors, as it was a tobacco and alcohol free event.  Music was provided by the awesome DJ Dave Mason.  Mahalo to PYCC alumni Marlon Tumacde, community board-riders and PYCC staff.
The family-friendly bodyboard and surf competition included Paia's own world-champion waterman Kai Lenny, IBA world tour champion bodyboarding duo Jeff and Dave Hubbard, and a heartfelt mahalo to Kainoa McGee for commentating the event.
There was a new cash-prize division for PRO/AM bodyboarders, and a chance to see the pros in action. Kona Kaiulani won the PRO/AM event.  Traditional divisions included Menehune, Juniors, Wahine, Kane, Drop Knee and Free Surfing.  It was amazing to see lots of young girls in the Free Surfing group.  Competitors received a plate lunch prepared by the youth of the PYCC Paia Bay Cafe program; collectors tee-shirt designed by the PYCC.  If you didn't get a chance to pick up a t-shirt, sorry, they are sold out.
