The unique event brought the best U14 surfers to compete over 10 days on the big island.
They came from Australia, United States of America, Brazil and Hawai’i.
“The event is unique in that it’s not just surfing,” says Keith Martin, of Aganoa Beach Lodge.
“It includes numerous challenges like climbing coconut trees, throwing coconuts in the blowhole to see who gets the highest, swim races, kayak races, beach sprints, push ups, table tennis and more challenges to find the fittest overall winner.”
In the end, Finn McGill from U.S.A won. Eithan Osborne came second followed by Stevie Pittman.
“The boys were treated to fantastic waves every day. They also sampled real Samoan culture with making umu and weaving baskets plus the traditional welcome Ava ceremony."
“It was a fantastic experience for these young boys to treasure for the rest of their lives. We all look forward to the 2015 Games.”
