Surfing lessons
with the pros

So you grew up here and still don't know how to surf, shame eh? Now's your chance to learn. Windward Community College will offer two sessions of its Surf Science, Culture and Technology series, for those who want to learn more about the surfing industry.

Sessions run 10 a.m. to noon weekdays, June 19 to 30 and Aug. 7 to 19. Also included will be two Saturday labs covering CPR, first-aid and surf lessons.

The course was offered for the first time last summer.

Lined up to teach this year are top Hawaii surf industry professionals including pro surfer Hans Hedemann, pro surfer and board shaper Ben Aipa, Naish Hawaii owner Rick Naish, oceanographer and surf forecaster Patrick Caldwell and former World Surfing Champion and businessman Fred Hemmings, who will discuss social and political issues related to surfing.

Coordinator Ian Masterson, a surfer and musician, said, "We want to take responsibility for promoting our sport and preserving this important asset for Hawaii."

The course is $145, with a $30 lab fee. Register at 235-7433.
