SAVE THE DATE: SEPTEMBER 19th, 2026
🌺 Join Us for a Very Special Surf Day in Honor of Aunty Joy Keahi Mills!
We’re thrilled to welcome you back to our 8th Annual Aunty Joy Keahi Mills Memorial Therapeutic Surf Day at Kahaluʻu Beach Park! This event was originally scheduled in August but due to a High Surf Advisory, we were forced to postpone.
This is a community-driven event offered at no cost, aimed at providing a secure and accessible beach day for individuals with disabilities to safely enjoy the beach and the thrill of surfing.
🙌 Thanks to Hawaii's heroes—lifeguards, surf schools, firefighters, educators, and dedicated volunteers from local nonprofits—Surf Day celebrates connection and aloha.
