Tickets on sale for ‘Surfest’
at Kualoa Ranch
TICKETS went on sale last week for "Surfest," an all-day outdoor concert on Dec. 18 at Kualoa Ranch.Presented by Hawaiian Hurricane Productions and Star 101.9, the show will feature performances by The Vandals, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, National Product and Rise Against. Moto-X and skateboard demonstrations are also planned.
Besides being available at all Ticketmaster locations, you can also pick up $18 advance tickets at Blue Planet Surf and all Hawaiian Island Creations locations on Oahu. Call 922-5444 to order by phone ...
ALSO IN the works is "XXX," a free concert featuring Xzibit, Jon B., Angelina and the NB Ridaz.

TELEVISION CAMERAS were at Pipeline on Friday night, filming the freakiness that is "Foreplay Fridaze" for an upcoming feature on the Travel Channel.
Promoter Rick Rock served as ringleader while the cameras rolled, exhorting people on the dancefloor to wave shaka signs in the air and mug it up. He ended up getting so excited, he momentarily lost his voice ...
