3. Because we enjoy helping others
The Surf Blurb helped me to meet the most influential surfers and top researchers in the field of surf history.

In addition, it has kept the stoke in me for many years, and encouraged me to fulfill one of my biggest goal: to become a Ph.D. in Sociology of Surf History.

As this photo (labeled “Christmas in Hawaii”) shows, you really can swim and surf at Waikiki on Christmas Day.

Behind these three seated tourists and the Hawaiian man with the solid wood board is the horizontal structure of the Moana Hotel pier.

From this pier, and the roofed pavilion at its end, you could watch surfers pass by below you in the shallow water on small waves.

Numerous photos and movies were taken from this spot, often showing beachboys waving or clowning around for their audience on the pier.

This ended when the pier was demolished in 1930, and it was never replaced. No structure like this could ever get permission to be built today.

“Aloha” magazine was published by the Matson Navigation Company for employees as well as frequent travelers who had traveled from San Francisco to Hawaii via Matson. It appeared from 1920 to 1928.

Makahiki Kuilima

Itʻs time for Makahiko Kuilima, on January 12, 2019. This is our traditional celebration of ʻo Lonoikamakahiki!

If you want to be part of or participate in our living traditions and cultural history, then you need to here.

If you ever wanted to experience the tradition of heʻehōlua (sliding across rock), this would be at Turtle Bay Resort.

There is the only place in Hawaiʻi that has a working traditional rock slide constructed for this Makahiki. We have made it bigger and better.

Come share the aloha! There is so much more to our living Hawaiian traditions.

Synosis

A journey in search of adventures, unexplored shores, empty waves in the Mediterranean most secluded places living with almost zero carbon footprint.

This is a surf-film about our small Ocean, the cradle of civilization and a reflection on living a simple lifestyle in symbiosis with nature.

The boats together with the Onde Nostre Crew traveled the Mediterranean Sea following Ulisse's journey with surfers, sailors, free divers, musicians, artists.

The film is a tale of friendship and nature which speaks to all lovers of the sea.

A modern Odyssey in the search of freedom and waves but also a testimony to our love for the sea and to document the most hidden seas of the Mediterranean.

This film is the story of a moment, of the people who live from one moment to the next and can relish the beauty of an instant.

The film unfolds in tales of adventure so that finally, as in Onde Nostre's motto: "We*ll be able to tell our spectatorship: 'Look where I brought you'.'

As surfers, we tend to stay open to the world around us. The art of wave-riding is truly a pursuit, a pilgrimage of sorts that takes the participant from naive groms to seasoned and sometimes jaded experts, from internet surfers to globe-trotting travelers.

The surfer quickly learns the need to follow the weather and tides, to find the direction of the swell on a map and chase the far-reaching corners of the globe in hopes of finding that magical, fleeting moment of bliss -- the perfect wave.

Waves of Warning

Chapter 28 - Crosscurrents at Ka’unua | Part 1

Download Chaprer

Summary

The forces of Nature are immutable - as are the forces of human nature. From previous chapters we know what Nature can do.

But in Part 1 of Cross Currents at Ka’unua we are concerned with the people who are now setting course to the climax events that will soon take place at the sacred reef of the sea people.

But the challenges of human nature are no less powerful than the ocean’s waves. David Helmares must summon all his inner strengths while voyaging to the reef.

And from the other end of the world, Heath Larson, Cheryl Corlund, and the team resurrected from the collapse of Wavelife International are now fully aware of the opportunity to redeem themselves - though now in light of the fatal disaster at the reef.

Please note that in the original printing of Waves of Warning, this chapter was divided into sections that focused on the various characters as they headed towards their encounter at the sacred reef.

For ease of reading we’ve combined the first two sections into this installment.
