Eddie Aikau Day - March 17th

On March 17, 2004, the Hawaii State Legislature passed the "Eddie Aikau Day" Resolution to honor his legacy, proclaiming that every year he is to be recognized on this day.

So today we pay tribute to Edward Ryon Makuahanai Aikau by honoring his courage and compassion for the many lives he saved as a City & County Northshore lifeguard at Waimea Bay.  We celebrate his dedication to his Hawaiian heritage and his love for his family.  We know that Eddie will always be with us  and he will continue to inspire others to become productive members of their community.  Eddie's legacy is a pure symbol of the "Aloha Spirit".

Salusand Soulsurfers -Sweden Surf Club

My name is Martin Bylund and run a surfclub in the northen part of Sweden. The club is called Salusand soulsurfers and is a very small surfclub with only 25 members. Surfing is not a big sport in Sweden and the oceans around our shores is quite small. But you would be amaized of how great surf we have now and then and the surfers in Sweden are really friendly and so stoked. Surfing in Sweden is like surfing was in other countries in the sixties. New spots are explored and everybody is so friendly and helpful. We in Salusand soulsurfers love surfing and the aloha-spirit and Sweden is the perfect country for that. 

This year Salusand soulsurfers is going to host the Swedish longboard championship. We organized it last year and it was a great succés with good swell, offshore winds and sunny skies. Surf contests in Sweden are not that common and I have a dream, and that is to do this contest the best contest ever in Swedens history and I want to do it to something special. I love longboarding and since Eddie Aikau is the most famous name in longboarding/surfing/alohaspirit in the world I came up with a great idea, and I want your help.  We are planning to have a great opening cermony in true aloha spirit and it would be great to be able to read a text were you give the competition your blessing. I would like to ask you to write down a few words in an email and send it to me. In the opening cermony it would be so great to read your text as a thing to open the contest and give some aloha to everybody. Please take a look at last years Swedish longboard championship (the worlds most northernly surf championship) at youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izHZzUGoWyA

Best regards and a lot of aloha from Salusand soulsurfers.
