Surf Parking Goals
Protect the 300 free recreational parking stalls. Parking is for Surfers, Boaters, and Beach-goers.
Protect surfers' right to enter the ocean safely.*
Safeguard access to the lagoon, beach and harbor waters named after Duke Kahanamoku.
Create understandable parking signage.
Stop the ‘instant tow’ policies in this harbor.
Prevent the lease proposal at the Legislature. Do not allow privatization or 65 year leases.
*If the free parking at the Ala Wai Harbor is taken away, the surfers will park at Magic Island and paddle across the active Boat Channel which is dangerous, especially at dawn and dusk.
“With more effective management of the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor and its parking areas, we can preserve this public trust area, which was originally constructed as an open space for Hawai‘i Residents.”

Please join the Surf Parking Coalition, Surfrider Foundation, Oahu Chapter Boating Groups, and Outrigger Groups in safeguarding surfer and beach access to Bowl’s Surf Break and protecting all those who park in the Ala Wai Boat Harbor on a recreational basis.
