Surfing has come a long way since its origins in ancient Polynesia. In Hawaii today, surfing remains more than just a sport — it’s a lifestyle, sacred cultural act, and gathering passed down for generations.
In the male-dominated sport of surfing, these ‘kaikaina,’ or little sisters, are the change-makers of the future. The girls and women of ‘kaikaina’ support each other, surf at an elite level, and strive to be the ultimate best.
