Kai Sallas was one of the entrants in this year's John "Pops" Ah Choy SUP Surf Fest. Kai came first in the Pro Men's Race and also first in the relay race divisions.
The John "Pops" Ah Choy Foundation was created on June 3, 2010 to honor one of the great men who started the sport of stand-up paddle surfing in hopes to continue his legacy for the future generations of surfers in Hawaii and throughout the world.
