Dennis Fujimoto / The Garden Island

David Chaikin (he’s a 1995 and 1996 Dinosaur volleyball tournament champion!) and Derek Kessler (he’s a Dinosaur champion from 2021) check the leaderboard on Friday, April 14, 2023, during the Dinosaur volleyball tournament on Kalapaki Beach.

Congratulations, David Chaikin (he’s a Dinosaur beach volleyball tournament champion from 1995 and 1996), Fonz Nartatez (he’s a runnerup from the 2021 Dinosaur, where Derek Kessler beat him and Kanoa Nartatez for the title), and all those hands that make the Dinosaur beach volleyball tournament work! Mahalo, Derek and the Duke’s crew, for being a part of the action (they had two courts set up near the downstairs dining area!) during the day hours. Got to watch Merrie Monarch at night.
