Leah Dawson is Wahine Blue's featured athlete. Leah is an accomplished long boarder and shortboarder who is a Pipeline Master. She won the longboard division and took second in shortboarding in pretty solid Pipe surf. She can rip in 1 to 10 foot surf and proved it by winning the Steinlager Sunset in 8-10 foot windy waves! Leah is also a college graduate, well almost....just a couple more credits!!! You can see her on the nose on her longboard, her favorite thing to do and check the video to see her 360 moves.

Aoi Koike won the
USBA Women’s Pipeline Championship in 6-8 foot Pipeline. She was impressive pulling off an
’s second win at Pipeline! A bodyboarder’s dream come true. Meanwhile competitor Delore Manus
is judging a sort of wave challenge at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park at the flow rider machine. There is another all girls competition coming up there in June to help support the Kapiolani Womens and Childrens Hospital. Sign up soon girls!
On the Women’s Surfing Tour, ASP, Hawaii’s Melanie Bartels started off the season by snapping into 4th place in Australia in the first event on the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour.

Water Woman Dane Ward graces the cover of Makai Magazine this month, nice! She is crew
with Team Bradley who won the Na Wahine O Ke Kai three years in a row. Team Bradley is composed of elite gals from all over Hawaii including Andrea Moller. Andrea is a pioneer in tow-in surfing. Big guts this girl. Tow surfing is becoming popular for girls too! Recently I saw Malia Kamasugi on her way out of Haleiwa Harbor to ride some 20 footers. Caron Farnham got a couple bombs also! Malia is a soft-spoken dentist charger who was one of the first to take on the big outer reef waves. Farnham a fisherwoman by trade and loves big surf. You may have seen her long hair wrapped up for Triple Crown Work this winter. She knows how to run events and she is also the Contest Director for the Bank of Hawaii North Shore Tow-In Championship. Charge um girls!
