We're getting a cool new stamp in 2009! It commemorates Hawaii's 50th year of statehood. The stamp features a surfer catching a wave in the foreground and two persons in a Hawaiian canoe in the background on the same wave.
This stamp reminds me of surfing in Waikiki, where we frequently see canoe paddlers catching waves along with surfers. One of the top surf spots is Canoes, located right where the Duke Kahanamoku statue stands on Kalakaua Avenue.
Note - if you're out surfing and a canoe is catching a wave, steer clear of it! Hawaiian canoes are heavy and don't manuever as quickly as surfboards.
The stamp is set for release in May, 2009. Note the "42"has a line through it because the USPS is planning to raise rates - but the new postage rate has yet to be determined.
Aloha, Mike
