In the late 1950's, Waikiki Surf Club member Clarence Maki was inspired to create an organization for juniors to participate in surf contests. The "Surf Club Hawaii" was officially formed and offered its members monthly surfing and paddling contests, as well as an annual surfing championship held for the public. The contest held in 1961 was a rousing success, which signaled the start of 12 years if excitement for the young surfers of Hawaii. Although most youngsters did not go on to pursue surfing professionally, the friendships they forged and all the great memories would stay with them forever.6.1 OZ. 100% RINGSPUN COTTON GARMENT-DYED (UNISEX) LONG SLEEVE T-SHIRT Preshrunk, soft-washed, garment-dyed fabric Twill taped shoulder-to-shoulder Double-needle stitched neck, armholes and bottom hem Ribbed collar and cuffs
