So grateful for the years and years of advocacy, planning, and hard work from so many that led to an amazing Grand-Opening of the new Lāna‘i Skatepark.

So rad to see Jacob’s family repping his face on their shirts to support him as he led this 1st Skatepark Contest after years of hard work to help this all happen! Supportive ‘Ohana is such a blessing!
