HONOLULU — A 17-year-old boy and his parents sued on Wednesday seeking damages against three canoe paddlers and other responsible parties after the canoe struck the boy, which caused life-threatening injuries, according to a news release.
On July 10, 2021, Kai Keuning was surfing at Tonggs surf break, which is between Diamond Head and the Outrigger Canoe Club, while a canoe was also riding the waves. As Keuning was paddling away from the canoe, it struck his head, breaking his skull in multiple places.
