Mokulele airlines isn\u2019t your typical air carrier. For the most part they fly out of smaller airports that offer free parking and avoid the hassle of TSA screenings (with the exception of Honolulu International). They fly planes that turn every flight into a sightseeing adventure and they sponsor their own surf team. For the people that know Mokulele, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s expected from Hawaii\u2019s favorite island hopper.<\/p>\n
Jeromy Hansen, son of founder and owner Ron Hansen, has long been an avid surfer. As a way to give back to the community and help local kids compete around the state, Jeromy founded the Mokulele Surf Team in 2012. Mokulele gets the kids and their boards to competitions around the state for greatly reduced fees. According to Jeromy, Mokulele\u2019s mission is helping people across Hawaii connect. For his young surfers that means meeting up with other team riders on neighbor islands, bringing families together, and expanding the Aloha State\u2019s surfing ohana.<\/p>\n
Without Mokulele\u2019s generous sponsorship many of the competitors would be unable to afford the travel costs necessary to get from competition to competition throughout the islands, and on special occasions, beyond. That would be a real loss as a fair share of Mokulele\u2019s surf team members are not only tops in the State, but ranked nationally as well. In fact, Mokulele\u2019s own Summer Macedo won gold in October 2015 following a historic week of competition at the ISA world junior surfing championship in Oceanside, California. The hotly contested event featured 322 of the world\u2019s best junior surfers from 36 countries.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the outstanding performances of Summer and her teammates, the USA was crowned World Team Champion for the first time in the history of the event. For everybody on the Mokulele surf team, that\u2019s exactly what was expected from Summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
