Free tandem surf clinics, exhibition at PK’s this month

The public is invited to a tandem surfing clinic and exhibition hosted by Kauaians Kalani Vierra and Blanche Yoshida on Aug. 18 and 19.

Two clinics will be held each day with an exhibition to close off the day. Clinics are scheduled for noon and 2 p.m. with the exhibition taking place at 5 p.m.

The clinics and exhibition will take place in conjunction with the Kaua‘i Surfing Association’s annual surf meet at PK’s.

Vierra and Yoshida are raising funds to travel to Spain coasts where they want to compete for the World Tandem title.

“We have been to O‘ahu, Maui, Australia and California for competitions, and recently returned from France where we were invited to do an exhibition at the Roxy Jam in Biarritz,” Yoshida said in an e-mail.
