Glad this story is out! I've also noticed many surf and paddle board "school buses" that use up parking spaces along the Kapiolani Park beach to do their commercial surfing and paddling courses on the beach and in the water. They even put out traffic cones mornings to "reserve" public spaces. Our Parks & Rec Dept. is very lax about commercial enforcement. For years now, people in parks with those First Amendment stand rights have abused the posts by illegally selling T-shirts, soda, chips, etcetera. Does Parks ever pull their permits? No. Like with all the vandalism, the current director merely throws up her hands and says "What's a person gonna 
do?"  This is not departmental leadership. This is collect your paycheck, long-term medical benefits and retirement package and say "whew, that was easy!"
