Talk Story at Surfer, The Bar and Hear True Tall Tales from the Ocean

Talk Story, known in Hawaii as mo'olelo, is the tradition of personally sharing important stories to preserve them for future generations. Surfing is full of colorful, charismatic and creative characters whose contributions to the world span far beyond the waves.

Surf Talk Story, held seasonally on Thursday nights (8p) at Turtle Bay Resort's Surfer The Bar, brings surfing's legends and their tall but true tales directly to you, as they are told to host Rocky Canon.
