Opening Party for SUP Masters
Kick Off Party Tonite at Nikki Beach featuring DJ ONNO and Clarisse
Albrecht.
"As the US celebrates Thanksgiving, people in the Tropics Celebrate Ocean Culture and the return of Big Waves...traditionally the Sub-Tropics and Tropics got great surf on Thanksgiving, Christmas and especially New Years..." says Maui John "over the years the 'Ocean Culture' has grown and evolved dramatically, so has the tradition of Giving Thanks for all the finer things in Ocean Living.
"Tonites party will be as warm and welcoming as any Thanksgiving dinner. Instead of turkey, it's OC tradition to eat Sashimi along with as much of the fresh fish, lobster, beverages and herbs that Ocean Living has to offer."
Thanksgiving has roots that predate the US and Canada, Ocean Culture is not so old. Duke Kahanamoku traveled internationally between Olympic competitions, and after retiring from the Olympics, to give Swimming and Surfing exhibitions. It was during this period that he popularized the sport of surfing, previously known only in Hawaii. His surf exhibition at Sydney's Freshwater Beach on December 23, 1914 is widely regarded as the 'birth' surfing in Australia
The numbers of watermen were small and a bit on the 'outcast' side, this is really how the 'Ocean Culture' developed into it's own. Now 'Watermen' and the 'lifestyle' are creeping into the mainstream. People are realizing 'Ocean Culture' for what it is...tonites Party at Nikki Beach displays the best of Ocean Culture.
