Surfing Pig Turns Heads In Hawaii

HONOLULU (CBS13) - Sometimes someone just walks into your life.

Kai Holt told CBS Honolulu affiliate KGMB-TV he was camping with his family on a beach a few months ago when a little piglet walked into his cabana.

Holt named the pig Kamapua'a. A few weeks later they were walking around his backyard pool when Kama fell in.

"I had no idea that pigs could swim," Holt said.

Turns out Kama loves the water. Soon enough, they were heading to Sandy Beach and Kama was jumping on Holt's standup paddle board.

"I think he enjoys it, you know," said Holt. "He really gets off on it. It seems like he's having a good time when he's out there. I think it makes him happy."

Little Kama is not the first pig to hang two hooves. A YouTube search turned up a pig in New Zealand who also catches waves. But he's riding what surfers call "ankle slappers."
