URGENT UPDATE FOR HOLIDAY HUSTLERS!

It is with extreme disappointment and after much deliberation that we let you know that the 2019 Holiday Hustle is cancelled due to the High Wind Warning currently in effect. According to the National Weather Service, a High Wind Warning means that winds are expected to be at least 40mph, with gusts of 60mph.

Please know that we did not make this decision lightly - - we sat at the beach park for an hour just before sunset, watching the palm trees strongly sway with every gust, followed by an in depth conversation with HPD officers and extensive online research. We came to the conclusion that the forecasted conditions for tomorrow morning are just too unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Your safety, and the safety of your keiki, is our number one priority.

WHAT NOW?! We have lots of goodies for you plus your shirts! Keiki will still receive their goodie bag of crafts too! We also have Kalapawai cookies and lots of prize giveaways for the best costumes! PLEASE COME PICK UP YOUR GOODIES TOMORROW (SATURDAY 12/21) at one of the locations below! If you will be driving from town, please please please drive careful, as the mountain passes will have some of the worst winds - - watch for downed trees and power lines!

**SATURDAY 12/21
6:00AM TO 7:30AM
KAILUA BEACH PARK
ORIGINAL RACE START LOCATION BEHIND KALAPAWAI MARKET (just in case some of you don't see this email in time!!)

**SATURDAY 12/21
8:00AM to 10:00AM
KALAPAWAI CAFE - 750 Kailua Road - - this is NOT the beach market, this is the cafe at the bottom of the Pali

**For those who live far away, we will offer another pickup date in January after the holidays - - we want you to be SAFE so please don't make the drive if you can hold off a few weeks!! :)

Again, we are super sad that we can't see you HUSTLE in your costumes, but greatly appreciate your understanding in us wanting to keep you and your keiki safe and sound during this crazy wind situation!! :)

Nufitness brought out a fun Surfset board so we could all try it out - - fun, yeah?! They have lots of great holiday deals going on - - head over to the gym (above Hawaiian Watersports) and burn off a few cookies!

And speaking of cookies... Kalapawai Market provided the yummy hot cocoa and cookies - - delicious! Stop by the market to stock up on everything you need for a day at the beach - or swing by Kalapawai Cafe & Deli for the best dinner in Kailua!

Aloha Holiday Hustlers! The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory starting Friday at 6am, running thru 6pm on Saturday. Our race falls right in the middle of the advisory - this means we will likely have sustained winds at 25-30mph, with the possibility of gusts to 55mph.

As of now, our race is still on! BUT...we will be monitoring the wind situation, and will be in contact with Kailua Beach Park to ensure we are still good to go for Saturday morning. Your safety is our first priority. :)

We will keep you updated if anything changes... meanwhile, we hope you are enjoying your holiday season!
