Another December 17 Activity



17 DECEMBER Black Pot Beach, Hanalei

Ron Rhoades, John Hunt, Conrad Mathews and Bill Mello of the Surf band ‘The TakeOffs’ perform in Hanalei. The band performs Dec. 17 at Black Pot Beach in Hanalei to help raise money for KORE, an organization dedicated to helping those who are physically challenged to get into the ocean with the assistance of professionals.

Channeling the energy of Dick Dale, The Ventures and The Shadows, the all-Kaua‘i band The TakeOffs keeps traditional surf music alive and well on the Garden Isle.

For those who are unaware of KORE ...it's an amazing group of folks who take handicapped individuals...wheelchairs abound... into the ocean to experience the waters.
