7th Annual Iron’s Brothers Pine Trees Classic

Every spring the Irons boys get all the kids from Hanalei together for the annual Irons Brothers Pine Trees Classic. This year marked another successful extravaganza. A free contest for anybody old enough to drag a longboard down to the shore, with prizes galore, kids ended the day walking away with inter-island airline tickets, backpacks, boardbag, boards, shoes and just about anything else you see stocked in your local surf shop. Oh yeah, Tamba was also down there grinding out free shave ice for everyone, so yes, it was a truly Hawaiian affair. Cheers to another good year boys!

What started as a small way to give back seven years ago has turned into an all-out Islands gathering for the kids who are just starting to get their feet wet. The Irons Brothers Pine Trees Classic isn’t about rewarding the kids who already have multi-year contracts and multiple national titles under their belts, it’s about giving the starters a nudge of encouragement. As if to say, “Hey, if we can do it, so can you.” This year’s event, held this weekend, was no different as the seventh installment of the Irons Brothers Classic went off without a hitch.
