Pacific Pulse: Bishop Museum shows off historical surfboards

Oct 10, 2026

Hawaii's Bishop Museum is putting historic surfboards on display, a feel-good look at the islands' surfing roots.

  • The museum is showing off surfboards from Hawaii's past, highlighting how the sport grew out of the islands.
  • The exhibit gives locals and visitors a close-up look at boards that trace the history of surfing culture.
  • In sports, the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team is leaning on veteran Ratkai, who brings leadership and experience to a roster with several young players.
  • Her focus on mentoring the underclassmen is being credited with lifting the whole team.

Outlook: The surfboard display stays a draw for museum visitors, while the Wahine look to turn veteran leadership into wins this season.
