Surfing Sisterhood Hawai‘i: Wahine Reclaiming the Waves is an event taking place on October 21, 2023, at the University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law in Honolulu. This event celebrates the resurgence of female power and creativity in the birthplace of surfing. Mindy Pennybacker, a columnist for the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and a Honolulu native, brings the vibrant world of waveriding in the Hawaiian islands to life in her book, Surfing Sisterhood. Through a blend of Hawaiian legends, historical accounts, and interviews with over thirty contemporary female surfers, Pennybacker showcases the passion and freedom that girls and women find in surfing.

Despite facing discouragement and interference from some male surfers who vastly outnumber them in the water, these female surfers refuse to be deterred. Pennybacker recounts how female surfers were pushed aside and underestimated by a male-dominated industry in the past, but they have made a strong comeback. In fact, female surfers are now breaking new ground and achieving remarkable feats. For example, in 2021, Carissa Moore, a five-time world champion from Hawaii, won gold in the Olympic surfing event. In 2022, Moana Jones Wong became the first woman to win the World Surf League championship tour event at Banzai Pipeline, conquering the big, barreling waves that were previously considered too dangerous for female competitions.

Surfing Sisterhood Hawai‘i: Wahine Reclaiming the Waves is a testament to the resilience and determination of female surfers in reclaiming their rightful place in the sport. This event offers a unique opportunity to delve into the rich history, personal stories, and the unwavering spirit of these remarkable women. Admission to this event is free, and attendees can also have the opportunity to meet Mindy Pennybacker and have their books signed.

Pearl Harbor

生长在海边的果果

The whole family accompanied my parents to Hawaii, and Pearl Harbor was of course an important part of the tour. It included a lot of content, with the focus on the Arizona and Missouri battleship memorials. It was raining at the time, so the tour of the upper deck of the Missouri was temporarily cancelled, and I was disappointed that I didn&#39;t see the combat command cabin. The local climate is really good when it is sunny, but when it rains, it is fast and heavy like a bucket of water. You must bring sunscreen and an umbrella when you go out.

It feels different from what I imagined, there are mountains by the sea and a little flat land, but horseback riding is fun, two hours is a bit long and tiring, the coach is very nice, the sea is beautiful and it feels better than the ranch, it is very cool inside and the big trees can provide shade

In the evening, this is a great place to watch the sunset at sea. The sun slowly sets, dyeing the sky orange-red, and the entire sea surface is shrouded in afterglow, which is breathtakingly beautiful. It is also a good place to go to the sea. When the tide is low, you can bring small tools to experience the fun of catching crabs and digging clams.

🏘A good place for humanities

● Liugong Island: As an important witness to China&#39;s modern history, Liugong Island carries rich historical and cultural connotations. There is the Sino-Japanese War Museum on the island, which displays a large number of precious historical relics and materials, vividly showing that magnificent history.

Battleship Missouri Memorial

大吃吃吃货

The overall feeling is good, with characteristics and local cultural displays, but I don&#39;t understand some of the check-in projects. I don&#39;t know where to get the stamps. There is no detailed introduction, and the time of each project conflicts, so I run around. But overall it is still unique
