Set to hit Oahu, Maui, Kauai & the Big Island, the tour will raise funds and recruit new members for Surfrider’s chapters. The four concerts will also raise awareness of issues like water quality, beach access, coastal preservation and plastic marine debris.
Headlining each event will be Maui’s 2010 double Na Hoku-nominated stadium pop outfit The Throwdowns. Known for their high octane live performances, catchy songs and a modern radio sound with an island twist, The Throwdowns are not to be missed. Each show on the tour will be an All Ages Event, with the exception of Kauai. Join us as we work together to have fun and protect the waters that bring us so much joy everyday!
Below are the Tour Dates and Venues:
Friday, June 18th: The Mixx, Kona, BIG ISLAND (with special guests)

For The Throwdowns’ bassist Kimo Clark, who serves as Vice Chair of the Maui Chapter, the cause is close to home. “When you grow up on an island,” said Clark “getting involved with a cause like this is kind of a no-brainer.” An avid surfer and musician, Clark saw the opportunity to pair the band with the Surfrider as a means to feed the arts and clean the waters. “We’re stoked to celebrate ISD with The Throwdowns and our Hawaii Chapters,” says Stuart Coleman, Surfrider’s Hawaii Coordinator.
