Eugene Ancheta of the Kauai Ocean Safety Bureau said this year’s Kauai Island and state finals for the Junior Lifeguards will be up to the national standards, meaning longer runs, swims, and no foamies. Instead, the Juniors will be using the racing paddleboards that resemble streamlined kayaks. The Juniors are in the water Saturday in front of Duke’s Kauai.
