Hawaiian Conference

ROMANTIC, picturesque Hawaii is
getting set to host several dozen Ex-
plorer surfing enthusiasts from the
Mainland at the 11th Annual National
Surfing Conference in Honolulu April
14-19.
The six-day event will be an unfor-
gettable experience for participants,
with sailing, sightseeing, swimming,
dancing, shopping, and just relaxing
on the agenda along with plenty of
surfing, boogie boarding, and body
surfing.
But if you or other members of
your unit want to take advantage of
all this, you'd better hurry. Because of
limited accommodations, participa-
tion is being limited to 130 persons,
and final deadline for registration is
March 27.
Per-person cost of the conference is
$125, including meals, housing, tours,
sightseeing, a boat cruise, a visit to
the Polynesian Cultural Center, and a
customized T-shirt. Transportation is
not included.
Explorers and leaders will be
housed during the conference at his-
toric Hickam Air Force Base. But
conference officials noted that hous-
ing and food service facilities will be
extremely limited before and after the
conference. Participants who plan to
either arrive early or remain after the
conference for additional activities
should arrange for other accom-
modations during the time the con-
ference is not actually in session.
The suggested time of arrival for all
participants is between noon and 5
P.M. on Tuesday, April 14. After
formal registration at Honolulu In-
ternational Airport—and a traditional
"Aloha" welcome from local Explor-
ers—transportation will be provided
to the conference site at Hickam.
The conference will be open to
novices as well as more expert
surfers, and instruction will be offered
for participants at all experience
levels.
Boogie boarding, for example, is an
activity that even the most inexperi-
enced surfer can enjoy—and one that
can be learned almost instantly. It
involves lying on a small foam board
and riding the waves in the easiest
possible manner.
The conference is sponsored by the
Exploring division of the Aloha
Council of Honolulu. For more infor-
mation or to reserve a place, write the
council's Exploring division at 42
Puiwa Rd., Honolulu, Hawaii 96817.
