Governor Lingle with Senator Hemmings & Supporters of the Hawaii Surfing Reserves
Governor Linda Lingle signed Executive Order #10-07 on June 2 which creates the Hawaii Surfing Reserves as proposed by State Senator Fred Hemmings (R—Hawaii Kai to Waimanalo/Kailua) this legislative session. The executive order was issued after the majority party in the State House of Representatives killed the original surfing reserves bill (SB 2646) on the last day of the session. That bill passed out of the Senate with a unanimous vote on March 2. The Executive Order designates Hawaii Surfing Reserves, comprising of surf breaks off Waikiki from Ala Wai to the War Memorial Natatorium and the North Shore of Oahu from Haleiwa’s Ali’i Beach to Sunset Beach.
