Families displaced by wildfire get a welcome reprieve as a surf session for kids and families gave them a chance for a normal Saturday.
An extended surfing family stands for a moment of silence
Kids shyly approached Maui's well-known surfers from the pro tour to chat and take a photo together. Some braved the day's big waves alongside them. With a glance, Alms spotted a roster of fellow pro surfers from Maui: Kai Lenny; Imaikalani Devault; Cody Young; Jackson Bunch; Summer Macedo; and Annie Reickert.Pedro Robalinho, center, and his wife Rafaela Muniz organized the session. The couple lost everything in the fire.
The group then observed a moment of silence, holding hands around the sand. Then it was time for young surfers to hit the waves at a beach that could become their new home break.That seemed to sum up the day's goal. As Alms said,"Just by going surfing with the kids, it will give them some grasp of, you know, we're still here and we're not going anywhere."Claire Harbage/NPRSome kids went straight into the waves while others gave the scene a chance to calm down.
