Stew & Rice

A Legend on the Lānai ➳ The spirit of aloha filled the Koa Lanai during the Historical Committee’s Stew & Rice event in March, which honored the ultimate renaissance man Joey Cabell; championship surfer, skier, sailor and founder of Chart House restaurant. A sold-out house of more than 100 OCC members and their guests were treated to a screening of “Beyond The Sport - Joey Cabell: Legend of Surf” produced by Spectrum Networks.

Guests were also privy to insider information from the film’s producer Brian DeCloux, who traveled from Los Angeles for this special evening.
