An amusement pier As waikiki Is desirable,
but not pier that will in any way interfere
with surf boarding or ontrigger canoeing.
These two aquatic sports have helped to
bring Waikiki from obseurity to reputation
now known around the world. As a bathing
place, the beach is splendid bnt not distinctive
of Hawaii; hundreds of cities have fine bath
ing-beaches. But no other city in the world
can boast such q spot for the keen sport of the
flying surf board or the canoe flung shoreward
on the wings of mighty wave. Furthermore,
thousands of people who do not care to 60
into the water are attracted to Waikiki to see
these sports As a beach merely for bathing,
half the pictnresqueness Of this spot would be
lost
The plans of the amusement pier committee
are not vet definite but the fear has arisen that
the pier will interfere with Waikiki sports.
If this fear is shown gronndless support of the
plans will instantly be doubled.
