Barack Obama bodysurfs Sandy Beach |
|
 August 15, 2008- U.S. Sen. Barack Obama bodysurfed today at Sandy Beach today, a place he frequented as a teen-ager growing up in Honolulu. The presidential candidate was photographed shaking hands with bodyboarders, catching a few waves and paying homage to his late mother whose ashes were scattered off East Oahu.
Besides going to Sandy's, Obama went to Hanauma Bay with family and friends. Obama left his Kailua rental at 7:54 a.m. today, in his last full day of a week-long vacation. The motorcade, which included five cars and two police vehicles, arrived at a rainy Hanauma Bay at 8:29 a.m. Mayor Mufi Hannemann greeted the party.
Obama, who wore his favorite White Sox cap, a gray T-shirt and black shorts on the excursion, carried a large Macy's shopping bag filled with beach gear. Obama was accompanied at Hanauma Bay by his daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, and long-time friends Marty Nesbitt and Eric Whitaker, who have been with him in Hawaii throughout his vacation. His wife Michelle was not present.
