HASA State Surfing Championships

The Hawai’i Amateur Surfing Association (HASA) State Surfing Championship ended yesterday.  The final day of the three day event ended with clean 2 to 5-foot waves off Ala Moana Bowls (located on the Diamond Head side of Magic Island).  This event was the final event of the season with more than 270 surfers from around the Islands.  The top surfers from each division will represent Hawai’i at the Surfing America USA Championships at Huntington Beach, California, in August.
