The Bradah Mel�s Canoe Surfing and Stand-Up Surfing Championships, an event to help raise funds for two Olympic kayak hopefuls from Hawai�i, has been postponed till next week.
The event, which is now scheduled to run Dec. 12 and 13, will help the Dolan brothers � Patrick, 21, and Ryan, 19, members of the U.S. Olympic Kayak team � in their quest to reach the 2012 Olympics in London.
The surfing event, which attracts some of the best paddlers and surfers from Tahiti, Brazil, France and Hawai�i and other states, will be held at M�kaha Beach.
Bradah Mel Pu�u, an avid waterman and Wai�anae Coast lifeguard, has been holding the surf contest for the past four years as a fundraiser for his friend Leighton Look, who was paralyzed in a diving accident and passed away last September. This year�s event will be held in Look�s memory.
