Uncle Bully's Surf Skool film screening kicks off Hawaii tour

Aug 13, 2026

A free community film tour launches in Hawaii, pairing an award-winning Maui-made movie with surf lessons and youth outreach — a feel-good story for local families.

  • A free screening of the award-winning film "Uncle Bully's Surf Skool" opens tomorrow night in Ewa Beach, from 6 to 8, open to everyone.
  • The event ties the film to hands-on surf lessons and partners with groups serving underserved kids, including the Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Make-A-Wish.
  • The project spotlights hidden homelessness in Hawaii and young children left alone while parents work, using surfing as mentorship and a life lesson.
  • The film can also be watched at home on Vimeo on Demand and is playing on Hawaiian Airlines flights this summer.

Outlook: Organizers are seeking sponsors and hope to expand the tour to the U.S. mainland next April.
