INTERNATIONAL SURFING DAY
Translation: Heido Sundstrom
Hawaiian surfer, Coco Ho (ranked 7th in the ASP WCT Women’s World Tour), gives us her take on why the tour should make Hawaii their final stop this year. This is what she had to say: “The fact that we only have seven events doesn’t matter if all of those events have perfect waves. The better the waves, the better the results for women’s surfing will be.”
Coco’s 5 Reasons:
- 1)Surfing originated in Hawaii, it just makes sense. Basically, it’s the identity of our state and one of the best features it has to offer. Hawaii is surfing.
- 2)Hawaii has the best waves, period.
- 3)Hawaii has a lot of world champions, so it’s a great example of why the tour should end in Hawaii.
- 4)Women deserve extreme waves. We deserve the challenge and opportunity to show our level of surfing, few places offer such an opportunity as effectively as Hawaii.
- 5)If the guys finish their tour in Hawaii, it’s only fair that we get to finish here as well.
