OCC ON THE WATER
SURFJAM 2022 A«er a two-year hias due to COVID-19, the 2022 Surf Jam was held in person. Eager parci- pants paddled out through the Kapua Channel to catch a wave. Prior to the pandemic, Surf Commiee Chair Brendan Brad- ley and a team of dedicated volunteers tweaked the holding period of the contest so it could happen during a me when the cond¦ons were more consistent. “Running and coordinat- ing an event is hard as is, but running one around the na¨ral element of swells can be even more tricky as the summer swells can be so fickle and hard to predict,” said Brendan. Luckily this year, cond¦ons were close to ideal.
