The Aloha Spirit Award is a special award to the person the SUP community feels represents the values of SUP in WA.

He was also a 5 times Olympic medalist, but more so, was regarded as the embodiment of "Aloha Spirit" - acceptence and kindness, working to grow our sport without personal gain. The award is voted upon by you the SUPWA members and can go to any SUPWA member. The award will be presented at the Annual Dinner. Voting will close on Wednesday the 24th of August 2016. To vote click on "Buy Tickets" on the right hand of this page and follow prompts to "purchase one ticket". You will then come a page with a text box labled "Aloha Award Recipient" - enter the name of the SUPWA member there. It is FREE to nominate, no transaction will take place.
