They came.
They saw.
They all tried to conquer.
On a sunny, picturesque Hawaiian day in April, about 50 skateboarders — from children to adults — descended on Honokaa Skatepark with one goal in mind.
They each want to be crowned the Big Island’s first King of the Concrete.
Their quest continues this weekend with the second of the three-part King of the Concrete skateboard contest series set to roll onto Kapaau Skatepark on Sunday.
“We’re changing the game up,” said contest series lead volunteer and organizer Jessica Tolar.
The competition is the first skateboard contest series to which the Big Island has played host.
