The New York Times Hawai’i specialist Matt Higgins turns in another story on how a group of tough surfers control the waves on Hawai’i’s North Shore with Kala Alexander as the center piece. Surprise!
They are known as the Wolfpak or simply “the boys.” They use fear and their fists to command respect in the surf along the North Shore of Oahu, a seven-mile stretch of some of the world’s most renowned waves. At the celebrated Banzai Pipeline, they determine which waves go to whom, and punish those who breach their code of respect for local residents and the waves.
While there is nothing new in this story it may help build more subscribers to Kala’s E-Newsletter and possibly create more interest in the soon-to-be-launched Wolf Pak fan club.
