    The Sup KANAKS and Friends - Dare to Dream Edition 

Genre: Biographical Supsurfing Musical

Over a decade in the making, the Film was originally slated for release to the public after submitting a version of the film to the Long Beach Film Festival in January 2020. Due to the pandemic lockdowns the film festival was cancelled and no word from the LBFF management. Rather than submit to another film festival Ekolu and  the producer, decided to release the Film to the public via YouTube so that it may be viewed and enjoyed for free to everyone in the world that has internet access. Our goal: to share the aloha spirit with the world… Enjoy the show!!  Look for the sequel in early 2024, “The SUP KANAKS and friends 2”
