Tonight on Surf Stories we have a very Special guest calling in from Kauai. She embodies everything Hawaiian. She is a Surfer, a Paddler, Waikiki's first Wahine Beach Boy, a Hula Dancer, and a mother. Her name is Laola Lake Aea and she shares an important slice of Hawaiian history you will remember for some time to come.
