As stated in our notice of Judging Criteria and in our Waiver "sportsmanship
and safety" are of utmost concern. Any activity deemed to be un-sportsmanlike,
"illegal, hazardous or in violation of event rules" may result in disqualification
"from this or any future event"! REDWINGS Memorial Events Committee
reaffirm this policy and will enforce the following measures in order to fulfill its
goal of promoting safe and healthy ocean sports activities for the youth of the
State of Hawai`i:
1. Individuals involved in any violent behaviors at contest sites, whether during
contest events or not, may be deemed to be ineligible for entry in any REDWINGS
Memorial events. Serious and/or repeated offences may result in additional
sanctions by the Committee, and by local, state, national and international
surfing organizations, which could include permanent banning, loss of titles, and
criminal and civil prosecution. Such behaviors shall include the use of abusive or
threatening language, intimidation, harassment, unnecessary and inappropriate
physical contact both in the water while surfing, and on land.
2. Individuals who violate the Rules established by the State of Hawai`i for
protecting the Point Panic Shore Waters (HAR:13-250;13-254), the Makapu`u
Shore Waters, the Sandy Beach/Halona Point Shore Waters and any other
protected area, by the possession or use of a surfboard in those waters may be
deemed ineligible for entry into any REDWINGS Memorial event and could result
in additional sanctions as in paragraph 1 above.
3. The Committee will diligently seek to achieve compliance with the Rules
protecting the Point Panic Shore Waters by actively collaborating with officers of
the Division of Conservation Enforcement (DOCARE) of the Department of Land
and Natural Resource and the Honolulu Police Department in reporting,
apprehending, citing and prosecuting individuals who violate these Rules.
4. The Committee will actively protect and defend the civil rights, the person and
the property of all individuals who seek to exercise their rights to quiet enjoyment,
equal access, and freedom from fear while using Point Panic Shore Waters and
Kaka`ako State Waterfront Park. Individuals who violate these rights will be
subject to sanctions stated in paragraph 1 above.
5. The Committee believes that the illegal consumption of alcohol and the use
and sale of illegal substances in Kaka`ako State Waterfront Park, and the
residential and unsanitary uses of the park all contribute to a dangerous
deterioration of respect for the rule of law and the rights of individuals and families
to use this public facility. We will diligently seek enforcement of laws
preventing these activities and will support and collaborate with other citizens and
the relevant law enforcement agencies. Individuals who violate these laws will be
subject to sanctions stated in paragraph 1 above.

Section 415-B-34, Hawai'i Revised Statutes and is organized for educational and
scientific purposes within the meaning of Section 501©(3) of the United States
Internal revenue Code of 1954.
