Three years ago (May 24, 2007) the San Diego, California surf community was rocked when Emery Kauanui died after a fight with Seth Cravens a reported member of the Bird Rock Bandits.
Now, according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune Kauanui is being remember with a “day of Aloha” today at Windansea Beach.
Kauanui’s family and friends plan have organized a daylong event at Windansea Beach in La Jolla that will culminate at dusk with a “surfboard candle lighting” ceremony. Organizers are calling it the first annual Memorial Day of Aloha. “We welcome everyone to join our ohana for a day of celebration,” a flyer produced for the event states. The event will be hosted by Kink Kukulele and will feature live music; food; wiki wacky ride, ukelele and keiki hula contests; as well as a raffle, with the winner taking home a trip to Hawaii.
Our thoughts continue to be with the Kauanui family. Click here for full coverage of the event in the La Jolla Light.
