The Surfer and his Ohana

Description

While walking along Kuhio Beach Park in Honolulu, I came across the statue of Makua and Kila and took a couple of pictures of it. Out of the couple that I took, this was the only one that I thought was worth keeping and using as an experiment to give it a vintage look via adjustments in PhotoShop. According to the inscription that I read, the statue was dedicated to Makua Lives on the Beach, a children's story written by Fred Van Dyke in which Makua, a young surfer, who becomes friends with a seal named Kila. The two become surfing buddies and the seal gives him advice when he has trouble in school. In turn, Makua nurses him back to health when he's injured.

All the photos I've seen so far have the both of them wearing those Hawaiian flower necklaces. I wonder who puts it on the statues. Random tourists? Locals?
