Where Surfers Attend Church

The Hilton Hawaiian Village is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year and has just completed a major renovation. 

If we happened to be surfing in Waikiki on a Sunday morning, this is where my friends and I would attend church in our swim shorts. The service, sponsored by the Waikiki Beach Chaplaincy, was held on the sand in front of the tower. Once the service was over we paddled right back out and finished our day of wave riding. 

What happy memories.
