Ocho de Mayo was my 39th birthday, and since it was MY day, I got to do what I wanted, and what I wanted was what I always want…a day at the beach (so in actuality, it wasn’t a lot different from any other weekend). Fortunately, the weather was perfect for sailing. It was blowing [...]

Mele Kalikimaka!
Aloha, and Mele Kalikimaka! The winter solstice has passed, the days are getting longer, and 2009 is almost gone. I really wanted to get a picture of us all in the canoe for our Christmas card… Yesterday, we finally had some time where our schedules lined up, and the sun hid behind the clouds the [...]
Beautiful Ladies
Kaile had a “drop-off” birthday party in Lanikai, the weather was perfect, Stace was game… All I heard was blah, blah, we can take out Holole’a! Stace called Nani, Nani called Hillary, next thing you know the boat was full. I’ve been meaning to get some footage of the canoe with the trampoline on, so [...]
What a Beautiful Family!
Stace and I went to the Marine Corps Ball, and Kai stayed with Aunty Rox and Uncle Shane. Shane has a relatively new camera, is REALLY GOOD at capturing awesome images, and was kind enough to come document the fact that Stace and I know how to dress up. He is quite the photog, no? [...]
Dad Center 2009
Join the Lanikai women’s first crew for the Dad Center race (the soundtrack is not entirely family-friendly…). The 25-mile course started at Kailua Beach and finished at the Outrigger Canoe Club. The footage was shot by various members of the crew, and edited (or thrown together) by Eric. Unfortunately, we don’t have any footage of [...]
The weather improved!

Giant NE Swell 13 March
When I came out of the tunnel on the way home from work, the whole east side was engulfed in one of the biggest NE swells in decades. When I got home, I had 3 voice mails about the surf… The guys were taking the Opelu out and needed more bodies. We couldn’t find anyone [...]

Barney Boat Surf
Join Stacey for a little trip on the “Barney” boat, nicknamed due to it’s purple manu (endpieces) and mo’o (gunwales). Push off Lanikai beach with Mike at the helm, and ride along for an OC-6 surf at the Mokes. The video only shows one wave, but they were surfing for over an hour before the [...]
