Womens Pro Opening Ceremony

The SeaHawaii Womens Pro at Pipeline 2012 gets underway on Wednesday, February 29th, with its opening ceremony which will be held at Turtle Bay Resort’s Surfer, The Bar, beginning at 6:00 pm. There will be a press event, a Hawaiian Blessing (prayer), a chance to get autographs from the pros and more at this opening ceremony.

At 8:00 pm the same evening at Surfer, Jodi Wilmott will sit down and “talk story” with one of the most accomplished and interesting water women in Hawaii’s history, Kanesa Duncan Seraphin.

A $5 donation is suggested, which will be donated to Kanesa’s charity of choice.
