TROPICAL ENERGY OCEAN GAMES Presented by JEEP
A Celebration of the Makahiki
Shortboard, Longboard, Stand Up Paddle, Windsurf, Kitesurf, Surf Canoe, Tandem Surf
For centuries, the Makahiki season was a time of peace and
agricultural fertility for Hawaii, a time when Hawaiians indulged in
games, music and festivities. This spirit lives on in Hawaii, with its
North Facing shores being buffeted with big waves throughout this time
(November to February), allowing the traditional art of riding waves to
live on as an inherent part of the culture.
The
Ocean Games are not only a means of celebrating this special time, but
also a way to bring together the most talented and respected watermen
in the world for a festival that combines old with new and sport with
music and art, for a celebration of Ocean culture, something that the
Hawaiian people have being doing for centuries. Get ready for the most
prolific ocean sports experience imaginable.
