Mahalo Nui Loa

On behalf of myself and my BKTC staff members, 

I would like to say Mahalo Nui Loa (Thank you very much) to all the Bowlers and Ohanas (families) who participated and supported in the Big Kahuna Team Challenge (BKTC) Tournament held this past February 26-29, 2024 at the Orleans Bowling Center.  This tournament would have not been possible without your support, interest and Aloha for our sport.  Ho`omaika`i (Congratulations) to all the winners who placed in and those who achieved personal bests!

I would like to say big Mahalo Nui Loa to Darryl Smith, Fawn Worthen, Christian Bryan, Billy Long, Edwin Leong and the Orleans Bowling Center Staff for hosting this tournament.  Their kind Ho`okipa (hospitality) provided a positive and fun environment to compete and make memories.  

I would also like to extend a sincere Mahalo Nui Loa to our prime sponsors, K&K Bowling and IAMBOWLING, who’s contributions are vital to our tournament’s success.

Our next BKTC will be held on October 5-8, 2024 at the Gold Coast Bowling Center. Please check back on this website for entry forms and updates. 

Lastly, I would like share my heartfelt appreciate to my BKTC staff:

Madi Pojas, Chris Honda, Bryton Kutaka, Joey Omilda, Danny Perreira, Keoho Asato, Kevin Asato, Lori Kadooka, Catherine Cruce, Norma Montoya, Lisa Pang, Eddie Awong, Ashley Hung, Leslie Santa Maria, Misa Bator-Cabico, Tanya Lee, Jaime Lee Borja, Mandie Rodrigues and Janine Robinson. You have my gratitude for all your hard work and attention to detail throughout our long tournament hours. 

Once again, Mahalo Nui and hope to see all of you again in October.  Stay safe and stay healthy.  A Hui Hou Malamapono (Until we meet again, Take care).

Darrell Pojas (Big Kahuna)
