It's time for the 2008 KIALOA "Live Like You Paddle" Scholarship. This is a scholarship for students 18 years and under and a chance to win one of our outrigger paddles.

It involves submitting a creative project to KIALOA of either an essay, art, digital, video, music. Use your imagination! 10 students each year have a chance to win. The application process is explained in detail at our website Kialoa Surf and Outrigger Paddles.

So I ask our readers to please help us get the word out and let our paddling students know of this opportunity!

On the morning of June 19th, 2008, Cocoa Beach, FL resident Justin DeBree will embark on a challenging 18 day journey from Key Biscayne, FL up the East Coast to St. Mary's, Georgia. The expedition's goal is to raise money and awareness while promoting the World Skin Cancer Foundation's mission. The grueling 398 mile long journey will be done entirely on a stand up paddle board and using a Kialoa Paddle.

Justin is 27 years old and works for DeWALT Industrial Power Tools & a volunteer for the World Skin Cancer Foundation. Justin has been stand up paddle boarding every day for the past year in preparation for this journey and is eagerly awaiting this challenge.
This year, instead of surf & fishing trips like he has done in past during his vacation time, he is donating his entire time off for this event.

During the journey, certain Port Stops such as Miami, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Cape Canaveral, & Jacksonville will have free skin Cancer screenings by Dermatologists.
Money raised will directly help the World Skin Cancer Foundation. To read more about it please visit WWW.WorldSkinCancerFoundation.Com or visit Justin’s Blog.
