Blue Planet Surf recently opened their new store at 540 Ward Avenue, Honolulu. I had a chance to drop by and take some pictures. The new shop is bigger than their Kapahulu store and allowed them to move their warehouse to the same location and have instant access to all the boards in their inventory. I think they’re running special sales right now so check them out if you’re in Oahu.

Aloha!
The Honolulu Triathon proved to be a successful event for many of the Planet Sun collective.

8x Molokai Champion Mitchell & Buddy Jackson Use World Acclaimed Race to Raise $10,000 for SurfAid International
HONOLULU – May 13, 2010 — There is a point, part-way across the Molokai Channel, where land cannot be seen on the horizon and the 2,300 feet of ocean beneath you no longer seem buoyant. It is around the 10-mile mark of the 32-mile crossing, and it’s at that time that even 8x defending Molokai2Oahu paddleboard champion Jamie Mitchell (Australia) starts to feel very much alone. He has found himself there every year for the past nine years and this summer will tap into that feeling of isolation to raise $10,000 for some of the world’s most isolated island populations.
