Kelis Kaleopa‘a

Kelis Kaleopa‘a was raised just steps from Queen’s, and it shows. A third-generation Waikīkī surfer with deep Hawaiian roots, she brings her own sense of style and grace to every wave she rides and every step she takes. Known for her clean footwork and calm presence in the lineup, Kelis is helping lead a new era of longboarding that honors the traditions of her kūpuna and culture. Whether navigating a packed morning session at home or making new friends in lineups across the world, Kelis brings an authentic sense of aloha everywhere she goes.
