Joshua Behrens prepares to catch a wave during the men's long board finals at the Kuau Rockin' Surf Competition at Pyramid Rock Beach on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Oct. 31, 2010. "Being on base helps civilians understand and appreciate the sacrifices service members make," said Billy Domingo, founder of Ainoskedu, a local sports apparel brand and competition sponsor. "Without the military, we wouldn't be able to surf in these waters."
