Surfing Moms will host its first formal Mother’s Day Open House on Saturday, May 9, 2026, the day before Mother’s Day, across Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi Island at beaches where the organization has long held its Surf Swap gatherings. Building on years of peer-led surf sessions that allow mothers to share childcare and access the ocean, the event will welcome families and the broader community for a day of connection, ocean time, and celebration. The open house will feature local professional surfers who are mothers, ocean safety guidance from lifeguards, wellness and community activities, and opportunities for mothers and keiki to engage with Hawaiʻi’s surf culture. Support from the Duke Kahanamoku Foundation will help fund ocean safety education, community programming, and event resources, ensuring the event is accessible, safe, and rooted in Duke’s legacy of mentorship, aloha, and respect for the each other and the ocean.
