Team Hawaii from Pearl City High School takes off today to Huntington Beach, California to compete in the Hurley "Walk the Walk" National Competition. PCHS Team Hawaii represents Hawaii, Canada and the Northwest in the competition which begins on Thursday, August 5, 2010.
Team Hawaii competed earlier in the year in three different Hurley video challenges, winning all three to earn their way to Huntington Beach.

The students that make up Team Hawaii have worked hard the past few months perfecting their presentation. Monday's rehearsal was filled with high energy and excitement as Wednesday's departure date was only a couple days away.
"We're more excited than anything because I don't think a lot of people have been to Cali," said Team Hawaii Producer, Chelsey Hatori. "We're pumped up so I'm hoping for the best."
