Palaoa - the word on the surfboard - is the hook-shaped whale's tooth that is worn by South Pacific tribal chiefs. The woman is Nive Brown, who is the chief of the Samoan community at St. Joseph Church in Santa Ana, California. The surfboard behind her has an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, who is the Queen of Heaven. I like the juxtaposition of the two.
