A Little Update On Kala Grace He Is at Queens Hospital Being Work On.
Just What To Say A Big Mahalo To All The C & C North Shore
Lifeguards & Billy Kemper. This is such a hard bus ride home
knowing that my son was purple when He got to the beach and his lungs
was filled with a lot of water & there was “No Response” at First
& Seem Like The Longest & Then He Started Coughing out the
water from inside his lungs as the color of His Face was coming back. I
was Watching By Son Taking His Last Breath. After all that water came
out and Billy Kemper was talking to Him to to hold on Kala it was very
hard to be right there. We waited for the ambulance for maybe like 10
minutes on the beach. After a couple minutes on the beach Kala responded
and got the water out of his lungs.He was Asking for His Mom & GF
It’s So Hard To Write & I’m Crying as I’m doing This. Kala Helmet

You. Mahalo Ke Akua

I think it’s cool that they send the smarter thugs to uni so they can more eloquently justify the gang activity. God damn its monotonous listening to it though.
garbage in…garbage out!
capture this moment…why? ’cause the 23 wsl contest line-up won’t wee anything like this…I will be going thru withdrawls in an hour
Here’s another history PSA though—Empire of Japan would have absolutely annexed Hawaii had the United States not done so, and probably by force. Can’t imagine late 19th century/early 20th imperialist Japanese government being all that tolerant of Hawaiian cultural traditions like surfing.
they did…until they PEARLED TO THE NOSE…in ’43? then Dr. Stranglove took CONTROL~
Hawaiian Kingdom and Japan entered into treaty in 1871, they were trading partners as well. I love these pro Americans trying to justify the most violent country in the last 300 years being a good and descent purveyor of freedom and fairness. How dare Americans tell any Hawaiians we are violent and corrupt, you all are the biggest gangsters of all.
Ukraine and Russia entered into a treaty in 1997, and they were trading partners as well. Ask a Korean about what life was like under Japanese rule between 1910 and 1945 and you might have an idea of what the Empire of Japan might have done to Hawaii. America has been awful to Hawaii, but things could have been much, much worse.
Dude you’re so tripping dude you’re so tripping! And remember Japan was allies with f****** Nazis you lunatic! You not pro-americans are f****** lame and complete Kooks for not being able to see the truth of any matter I’m sure not just the history of Hawaii’s annexation. You damn lame. There’s always a truth beyond the simple truth and you type a m************ and never look for the truths beyond those simple truths and that’s why your brain is corrupted and ill equipped to be part of any discussion that requires further thought than surface
Hawaii is occupied by America?
American Mormons.
Latin america
Thanks fellow occupier.
De nada
how to start a protest group? see save our surf…non-profit. I’d rather pick pineapples. John Kelly is from Hermosa Beach and was a lifeguard?
Lots of cover shots being taken – shame there’s no magazines any more.
