From undisclosed mountain paths to secret beach coves, Hawai‘i is the perfect place for an adventure. Whether you’re in the mood to see the islands by air, on foot, or in the water, there’s always a different way to explore the hidden treasures Hawai‘i has to offer and see something new. Explore one of the most untouched places in the world, the Kalalau Valley on Kaua‘i. Although getting there is challenging (via an eleven-mile hike or a kayak along the Nā Pali coast) the reward that awaits you once you arrive is worth it. “Just get there somehow,” writer and photographer David Chatsuthiphan writes. “It’s a special place.” Hawai‘i also has an underwater world that few get the chance to discover. But if you are an experienced diver and have some friendly locals to show you the way, you can explore the underwater caves on O‘ahu’s North Shore. Bursts of glowing rays of sun light the way to reveal lava tube passageways and coral reef scaffolding, making for an exhilarating experience unlike any other. While you’re on the North Shore, you may want to check out shark cage diving. Get up close and personal with these majestic—and mostly misunderstood—creatures and learn about why their conservation is important to maintain the vitality of our entire ecosystem. If the outdoors are not for you, be sure to check out the 33rd annual Hawai‘i International Film Festival, which celebrates 100 years of film production in Hawai‘i. Established in 1981, HIFF is a distinguished and leading international film event across the globe for advancing cultural exchange and media awareness in the Pacific Rim. From October 10–20, expect another eclectic mix of world cinema and local films.

Enjoy this issue.

Only a local would know: You surf North Shore in the winter, South Shore in the summer, East Side when there’s Kona Winds, and West Side when you know someone.

1. BEsT plaCE TO sEE uNspOilEd O‘aHu: Yokahama Bay at the end of the road in West O‘ahu. The majestic Wai’anae Mountains swoop down to meet the aqua blue Pacific along an empty (usually) stretch of white sand beach.

2. pERfECT day ON THE NORTH sHORE: Start at 7:30 a.m. with North Shore Yoga in Waimea Valley, followed by a surf along the Seven Mile Miracle. Lunch at Cholo’s Homestyle Mexican & Margarita Bar in the North Shore Marketplace, then head to Waimea Bay for rock jumping and snorkeling. Finally, wind down at the Hang Ten Bar in the Turtle Bay Resort.

3. BEsT puB CRawl: Hop from pool bar to pool bar along Waikīkī Beach, having a drink at each stop and going for a quick dip in each pool. Start while the sun’s still up at the historic Moana Surfrider’s Beach Bar, then move on to Duke’s at Outrigger Waikiki and The Mai Tai Bar at Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Finish up with Waikīkī’s best sunset view in the infinity pool at The Edge of Waikiki in the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.

4. BEsT ViEw Of Kailua: From the Mokulua “Twin” Islands. My favorite way to access the small beach on Moku Nui is by outrigger canoe or stand-up paddleboard. The views from the water are unreal in any direction. Guided paddle tours with local watermen are available from Kailua Ocean Adventures (kailuaoceanadventures.com).

5. BEsT plaCE TO TaKE VisiTORs fOR diNNER: Longhi’s at Ala Moana Center for its unexpected views of palm trees and ocean framed by white stucco arches. The Italian food is equally fabulous; our favorites include the prawns amaretto, arrabiata with penne, and a caramel drizzled delight called the “Caramel Knowledge.”

6. BEsT plaCE TO waTCH a pROfEssiONal suRf CONTEsT: The ASP World Tour on O‘ahu’s North Shore for the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, which kicks off October 29 with the HIC Pro at Sunset Beach and wraps December 20 with the Billabong Pipe Masters.

Situated on 800 acres of lush ranch land in verdant Upcountry Maui, Piiholo Ranch Zipline, which opened in 2008, is owned and operated by the Baldwin family.

Family patriarch Peter Baldwin is a sixth-generation descendant of the Reverend Dwight Baldwin, an American missionary doctor who arrived to Maui in 1836. Cattleman, businessman, rodeo competitor, team roper, and polo player, Peter Baldwin’s great love of the outdoors led him to found Piiholo Ranch. Now, Peter’s sons Jeff, Duke, Chris, and their families are carrying out the Baldwin’s ranching legacy, while providing the ultimate playground for their guests.

Today, Piiholo Ranch Zipline is home to two zip courses. Their original zipline course features the longest side-by-side line in Hawai‘i with expansive mountain and ocean views. Their canopy tree top course features 3,945 total feet of zipping, past aerial canopy bridges and through a tree tunnel. Guests are invited to take advantage of a new “Kids Go Free Promotion” on their premier 9-line treetop canopy tour. Any child aged 8-12 participates for free with a paying adult on the three-hour adventure that takes guests soaring through a tropical forest. “Our family invites you to spend a day on our ranch,” says Janet Baldwin, director of sales and marketing. “Whether you’re 8 years old or 60, you’ll find something here to satisfy your sense of adventure.”

Piiholo Ranch Zipline is located on Piiholo Road in Makawao. Tours operate seven days a week 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. For reservations, call 800-374-7050, or visit piiholozipline.com.

“Manta ray heaven” is what they call it, and this dive spot is nothing short of its name. As the glowing sun sets, it’s hard to even fathom the extraordinary experience that lies beneath the surface of the waters at Ho‘ona Bay.

Plunging into the dark waters, nothing can prepare you for the dive rave that you encounter. Holding tight to your dive light, you follow your dive-master to the “campfire,” a large blue light implanted on the bottom of the ocean meant to imitate the sun. This “night sun” is used to trick plankton, the manta ray’s favorite food, into thinking it’s daytime. Soon enough, the plankton swarm over the campfire, forming a feast for the gliding mantas. Swimming toward the campfire, you can already catch a glimpse of their rhythmic wings in the distance. For a moment, the shimmering flag fish that crowd together in schools distract you, but as soon as you find a seat at the bottom, the gentle giants soaring above steals your attention. The rays somersault over your head, taking your breath away as they glide like graceful ballerinas. Kona is the only place in the world that this spectacular feeding show can be seen. Years ago, the hotels around the area decided to use lights to attract plankton, thus luring manta rays to the waters surrounding their resorts. The mantas grew accustomed to this artificial environment, and manta ray heaven was born. So if you are heading to the Big Island, make sure you don’t spend all your time at the volcano; the best part of the island is the vibrant world that fills its waters.

Descend the depths of manta ray heaven with Kona Honu Divers, which offers manta ray night dives for both scuba divers and snorkelers. For more information, call 808-324-4668 or visit konahonudivers.com.

Thirteen years ago, Justin Ridgely discovered his love for bouldering. Sans ropes, a harness, or any kind of safety net to catch one’s fall, bouldering takes place outside, on the mountains of our island. This form of rock climbing requires a powerful, almost yoga-like technique. For Ridgely, it was the peaceful yet exhilarating aura that had him

hooked from his first climb. However, after years practicing on Hawai‘i’s natural boulders, he felt that the island lacked a centralized meeting place where people could come together and climb. With the help of a few friends, Ridgely soon built what is now the only indoor rock climbing gym on the island. Built by hand from the ground up, the Kaka‘ako gym welcomes people of all ages and skill levels who find enjoyment in the endeavor to climb. These climbs are also without any ropes or harnesses, however unlike bouldering on the mountains, the floors are padded with cushions to break your fall. Boulder climbs vary in difficulty and are measured on a “V scale”

ranging from V0–V11. The gym allows for people to come together while testing the body’s limits. For Ridgely, it quickly became his training ground to prepare him for the natural boulders of the island. In ad-dition, it allows people to meet other compat-ibly skilled climbers, as well as new climbing partners. “Bouldering is about the pursuit to do the impossible,” says Ridgely. “Sore muscles are just a reminder that you’ve achieved new limits.” Volcanic Rock Gym is located 423 Keawe St. For more information, visit volcanicrockgym.blogspot.com.

Kualoa Ranch, established in 1850, is located on 4,000 acres of unspoiled paradise along O‘ahu’s northeastern coast. Family owned and operated, its mission is to serve as a role model and steward of the land by preserving, protect-ing and enhancing Hawai‘i’s natural beauty and culture, while also developing recreational and agricultural enterprises that are compatible with the environment. Recently, Kualoa partnered with Mamoli‘i Productions, which specializes in traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian dances and is led by kumu hula Kui Gape, to present The Legends of Kualoa. The new production showcases the sa-cred land of Kualoa and the four Hawaiian leg-ends of Kahekili, La‘amaikahiki, Kamapua‘a and Kū‘ilioloa, and the battle of Hi‘iaka and Mokoli‘i. Guests will also enjoy a dinner featuring deli-cious hand-carved prime rib, fresh island fish with lemon caper butter sauce, grilled island

chicken, and a selection of sides and dessert. Combination packages with afternoon tours and The Legends of Kualoa tickets are available and offer the opportunity for guests to learn of the legends and legacy of Kualoa’s sacred land, and then see the legends come to life through hula kahiko, an ancient style of hula. The Legends of Kualoa dinner show is avail-able on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Kama‘aina guests can enjoy the experience for $10 off the ticket price ($49 per adult and $39 per child) or combine the dinner show with ranch tours for the ultimate Hawaiian experience. With an array array of jungle and ocean expedition tours, as well as ATV and horseback adventures, Kualoa has something for everyone.

The island of O‘ahu covers roughly 600 square miles and takes more than two hours to circumnavigate by car. While a road trip proves more than spectacular, especially on a perfect, breezy weekend, there are many island treasures that simply cannot be seen from the road, concealed by our lush mountains or cloaked within one of the many valleys that cover O‘ahu. Makani Kai Helicopters, O‘ahu’s largest and most accomplished helicopter tour company, will guarantee you the most picturesque view of hidden Hawai‘i. From its inception in 1988, Makani Kai has offered one of the most memorable bird’s eye view experiences imaginable. One can book a lovely tour in their Eurocopter AS350 A-Star and view Sacred Falls, Punchbowl, Diamond Head, and Hanauma Bay from above. A more exciting adventure, however,

awaits you in their Hughes 500D. Painted in the same color scheme as the helicopter from Magnum PI, the lightweight utility helicopter is a beauty and provides quite a thrill ride. Request the extreme doors-off experience and see all of the sights while the breeze blows through your hair. Taking your own photos and video is encouraged and is especially recommended for the doors-off experience.

Makani Kai Helicopters is located on O‘ahu at 130 Iolana Pl. For more information, call 808- 834-5813 or visit makanikai.com.

The best way to explore a city, to uncover hole-in-the-wall treasures and unique shops and eats, is on foot. The second best way is by bicycle, and one company is paving the way to provide visitors and locals alike with a unique pedaling experience.

Holoholo Bicycles is a new bike rental and tour company in the heart of Chinatown that offers guided tours throughout Honolulu. “We want to share what locals see, shop, and eat,” says

co-founder Nicole Reid. “We want to share with visitors the sites we as locals have come to know and love, and that absolutely does not happen by car.” The Historic Honolulu tour begins in Chinatown and makes its first stop at Aloha Tower, which has greeted vessels to Honolulu Harbor since 1926 and continues to do so today. Next, cyclers will coast through Kaka‘ako (originally a Native Hawaiian fishing village then later a center for blue-collar industry work) and enjoy views of the Pacific from Waterfront Park. The trek continues with stops at ‘Iolani Palace and the Kamehameha statue. In addition to history, Holoholo Bicycles is also answering the big question of overcrowded

streets in Hawai‘i. “The goal for us is to bring more awareness behind bicycling in Hawai‘i to create communities that don’t revolve around the car culture so many of use were raised with,” says co-founder and creative director Brandon Reid. “For every bicycle rented, there’s one less car on the road.” Open Monday through Saturday, visitors can choose between a twice-daily guided tour or hourly rentals. Each rental is accompanied with a map detailing the safest routes to destinations in the city. The fleet of Trek Allant 7 bicycles offers a comfortable ride to any destination and comes equipped with a lock and a detachable basket. Kama‘aina rates and discounted student rates are also available. “We see Holoholo as a

move in the right direction for the island as a whole,” says Nicole. “I’m confident that Holoholo can set the pace for bicycling in Hawai‘i as a main means of travel.” Holoholo Bicycles is located at 34 N. Hotel St. For more information, visit holoholobicycles.com.

Have you ever wanted to swim with turtles in their natural habitats? Or wished you could get close enough to barreling waves so as to feel their cool spray on your cheeks? Have you ever wondered how surf breaks like Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay got their names?

Now you can discover all this and more with Island View Hawaii, a two-hour boat tour along

O‘ahu’s world-famous North Shore coastline led by Captain Kaiwi Berry, a born-and-bred product of the North Shore. Even as a child, Berry was connected to the ocean. “My grandfather ran a crabbing business out of Hale‘iwa, and I spent hours upon hours on his boat,” says Berry. “When my grandpa changed out the bait in the traps, it would create a shark feeding frenzy. Eventually the sharks would just come up by the sound of the boat and follow us picking up the traps throughout the day. These sharks became our pets, and I’d name each one.” Nearly every waking moment of Berry’s life was spent in the water. In the summertime, when the North Shore waters

were calm, Berry went fishing and diving; in the wintertime, when large swells brought thunderous waves to the shores, Berry surfed. In 2010, Berry purchased a run-down Radon boat from Nainoa Thompson, master navigator and captain of the Hōkūle‘a voyaging canoe. In the ’70s and ’80s, the old vessel had served as the escort boat for the Hōkūle‘a, crossing Hawaiian channels and docking at various harbors across the island chain. After gutting the boat completely, replacing its stringers, bulkheads, and motors, the Mo‘o, as it’s now called, was ready to once again set sail. “Our boat tours are designed to offer you the maximum viewing pleasure,” says Berry. “By

showing people marine life, my hope is that it will bring attention to the fact that it’s each of our own responsibility to preserve and protect our reefs and waters.” Those aboard the Mo‘o will also be guided through the cultural and historical significance of landmarks passed along the way, gaining a greater understanding of the importance of preserving our scenic coastlines. “I have a strong relationship with Hale‘iwa,” says Berry. “When my grandpa passed away when I was 12, I had a vision that one day I would be back in the harbor passing on the knowledge that he shared with me.”

Step back in time to when sugar was king and experience the real Hawai‘i at Hawaii’s Plantation Village, an outdoor museum that tells the story of life during the Plantation Era (circa 1850-1950).

The Village shares the story of Hawai‘i’s various cultures, including Hawaiian, Chinese, Portuguese, Puerto Rican, Japanese, Korean, and

Filipino. Located in the historic Waipahu town, a tour of Hawaii’s Plantation Village takes you on a journey back to the early 1900s, where you can experience more than 25 authentic plantation homes and structures filled with personal artifacts, clothing, furniture and art placed in their original settings. And this October, join in on the fright, when Hawaii’s Plantation Village will play host to Haunted Plantation 2013, rated one of the “Top Haunts in America” by Top Haunts Magazine and Matador Network. The plantation is steeped in real haunted history. During its hey day through the 1950s, many of the residents died in the plantation homes that span the museum’s property, and it is said that the supernatural still wander the grounds. The 20-minute haunted

tour is definitely one of the creepiest in Hawai‘i, so be sure not to miss out.

Hawaii's Plantation Village is located at 94-695 Waipahu St. For more information on Hawaii’s Plantation Village, visit hawaiiplantationvillage.org. The Haunted Plantation will be open Friday through Sunday starting October 12, and on October 30–31. For more information, visit hawaiihauntedplantation.com.

I grew up in Hawai‘i, loved volleyball, and had big dreams to chase.

As a man, I have achieved those dreams by becoming an U.S. Olympian, a two-time National Champion, international beach volleyball professional, and a broadcaster for NBC at the London Olympics. The decision to retire as an athlete was painful because I still love playing volleyball. So in 2012 my wife and I formed the non-profit Spike and Serve program to share my passion and experiences with others here in Hawai‘i.

I humbly recognize how lucky I have been to have incredible coaches and positive influences throughout my life; people who believed in me and provided me the tools and lessons it takes to play at the very highest level. Over the last two years, 1,500 children have taken part in Spike and Serve. We started with youth volleyball clinics and have since grown to grass leagues, beach leagues and a competitive in-door club program. In June 2013, our inaugural Under 15’s girls won the National Championship in Dallas. This team exemplifies the Spike and Serve motto: Inspire, Inform, Excel, Transform. The Spike and Serve team is formidable. Our roster of coaches includes Olympic medalists,

NCAA champions, and professional athletes. However, our MVPs are the sponsors who make it all possible. MAUNA LOA Macadamia Nuts has been and continues to be our lead sponsor. I am honored and blessed that they understand and believe in what we are trying to achieve for Hawai‘i’s youth. For more information about MAUNA LOA, visit maunaloa.com or about the Spike and Serve program, visit spikeandserve.com.

Winter swells bring massive waves to Hawai‘i’s shores. Thundering waves can be as large as 20 feet (translating to a wave face height of more than 30 feet) and oftentimes even larger. Tow-in surfing, as shown here at Kaua‘i’s Kekaha Beach Park, utilizes a motorized vehicle such as a jetski or helicopter to be able to catch waves that were once thought uncatchable. Waves of this height move at 30 to 40 mph, making it nearly impossible to pick up enough speed to manually paddle into the wave.

Adventure seekers often say, “It’s not the destination, it’s how you get there.” That doesn’t apply to Kalalau Valley. Just get

there, somehow. It’s a special place.

TRAIL ALONG KAUA‘I’S RUGGED Nā PALI

COAST. BY SEA, YOU CAN TAKE A KAYAK

BUT ONLY DURING SUMMER MONTHS

WHEN THE OCEAN ALONG HAWAI‘I’S

NORTH FACING SHORES IS CALM.

For first time visitors, backpacking into Kalalau Valley is the most rewarding option. Most people camp for two to five nights in the valley. But once you’ve made it to Kalalau Valley, the adventure has only just begun. Tucked away in a remote place, valley walls 3,000 feet tall surround you. There may be other campers around, but you will still feel secluded. And forget about checking email or texting on your phone.


During the day, explore the valley using a network of hiking trails. You’ll discover streams, swimming holes, and plenty of waterfalls.

You can also explore the enormous Kalalau Beach. During the winter, ocean swells remove much of the sand, but if you’re there in the summer, you can walk down what seems like an endless coastline. The beach is wide and long and looks like an alien landscape full of caves and giant rock formations. At night, because of its remoteness, Kalalau Valley becomes an incredible place for stargazing. And if you time your trip just right, you might be able to catch the moonrise right over the jagged cliffs that surround the valley. Make a fire back at camp and talk story with friends. And when it’s time to wash up for bed, you can take a shower in a waterfall by the beach under the stars. It’s hard to imagine a more perfect setting.

Cleaning our masks with naupaka leaves, left at the cave’s entrance by a thoughtful stranger, we map out our route: “Blue Room” to “That Low One Over to the Tidepools;” then off to “Wormhole,” through “The Deep Tunnel Ones,” and finally over to “Elevator Drop.” Just as finding many of the caves requires a transfer of knowledge from person to person, friend to friend, the names of the caves are the products of a word-of-mouth tradition in the community. Breaking the natural quiet, we discuss

route options at the opening to Blue Room, a grotto-like chamber that heaves and sighs with the passing of swells, the tide giving breath to the cave mouth. Blue Room is probably the most accessible and popular of all the caves. It is wide, less claustrophobic than others, and stunning where the light pours in, resulting in a burst of deep blue glows against the walls. By noon, humuhumunukunukuapua‘a, green sea turtles, moray eels, locals, and foolhardy tourists will all be passing through at regular intervals. “So when we get to the reef shelf by Elevator Drop, you wanna go reverse, right?” Brian asks. “Yeah right,” I reply incredulously. “I almost died with you guys.” We both laugh as I recall the seemingly simple instructions from our crazy Dominican friend, an expert diver: “You jus’ gonna go down, and go straight. Follow me. If you no can see me in the black, you jus’ gonna go straight, an’ keep going, ok? Then you see the hole. You go up to the light.” Nodding in agreement to his instruction, I dove fifteen feet and swam straight under the shelf, following his fins. I’ll never forget the horrifying feeling of seeing them flicking out of sight into the smoky abyss, vanishing like giant squid tentacles slipping into extinction and myth. I was suddenly alone in the dark,

with no end in sight. My heart and eardrums throbbed, and in my panic I forgot to pressurize. I was unsure whether I had enough air or space to turn around, and the mass of coral above me seemed to press down on my lungs. Driven only by primal fear, I kicked straight ahead for what felt an eternity. Then finally, I spotted a glint of light on the sand, an angled ray glimmering through the two offset holes in reef shelving. I don’t know how I managed to propel myself through those holes without hitting my head, but I remember seeing the faces of my friends peering down at me, haloed by the sun like guardian angels. On that day, the stress and fear brought the reality of our recreation to the surface. The dangers of freediving without breathing apparatuses can be easy to forget in the serene quiet of the easier cave dives; every single time you dive down, you are risking your life. You absolutely have to make it through. There are no bonus lives, as in video games, and you cannot phone a friend if you panic. By your will alone, you pilot yourself. Reflecting on this truth, the activity becomes at once existential and spiritual. The visual and physical experience of passing from darkness into light, from a potentially deadly environment back to safety, parallels age-old and cross-cultural projections about death and afterlife. Suspended down there, subaqueous and subterranean, it is easy to feel disembodied, buried. But today, our dive is mellow. We plan to do Elevator Drop the normal way, which is substantially easier. We pass from cave to cave in silence, giving each other occasional shakas as we ascend. We know all that is latent in each dive, but it goes unspoken because this is casual. On the North Shore, this understanding is communal, and cave diving is treated much the same by a diverse population of residents throughout the summer months, while the water is flat and mild. For some, a quick loop through Blue Room and back around through the channel is treated like a pau hana to reset the mind, self-therapy by way of brushing up with a comfortable unknown.

By noon, humuhumunukunukuapua‘a, green sea turtles, moray eels, locals, and foolhardy tourists will all be passing through at regular intervals.

INDIFFERENT TO NAUTICAL SUPERIORITY. The Hōkūle‘a is the canoe out in front, followed closely by her escort boat, Hikianalia. What began as the dream of the three men who created the Polynesian Voyaging Society in the 1970s—Herb Kane, Tommy Holmes, and Ben Finney—stumbled and fell until its legacy landed at the feet of two very different individuals. The older, Mau Piailug, was one of the last remaining traditional wayfinding navigators in the Pacific. The younger was his progeny, Nainoa Thompson. Together, supported by the fledgling Polynesian Voyaging Society and sailing aboard the Hōkūle‘a , the men and their crew completed a landmark voyage from Hawai‘i to Tahiti and back in 1976, relying solely on the practice of wayfinding. The Hōkūle‘a’s initial voyage proved that traditional Hawaiian practices of wayfinding

could achieve in the modern day what they had for the Hawaiians of old. After that successful first voyage, the mission of the Hōkūle‘a became less about proving traditional forms of navigation could be accomplished and more about uniting the peoples of the Pacific. Wayfinding is a practice that relies in part on an individual’s powers of observation and na‘au, or gut feeling, to navigate the ocean—skills that were, until recently, lost amidst the press of modern navigation instruments. Wayfinding requires the navigator to read changes in the environment through stars, currents, winds, waves, and motion of the canoe. “As a Hawaiian in this complex, complicated, somewhat foreign world that I find myself, I sometimes have a very difficult time seeing a picture of who I am,” explains Nainoa Thompson, who has been Hōkūle‘a’s navigator for the last several decades. “I know that picture very clear when I’m on the ocean and when I’m navigating.” Thompson is credited with spearheading the revival of wayfinding and the resurgence of traditional practices in open-ocean voyaging. Today the Hōkūle‘a is preparing for her greatest venture yet, a four year global voyage that will pass through some 20 countries and 60 ports. The PVS, like a piece of glass smoothed and shaped by wind and water, aims to perpetuate traditional Polynesian voyaging techniques through educational programs emphasizing respect for self, community, and environment. Wrapped in the mindset of the Hawaiian people is a decisive commitment to look seven

generations ahead, and to make decisions to positively effect these generations. True to this spirit, with a combined network of over 1,500 educators, 300 crew members from more than 16 countries, and countless navigators, students, educators, scientists, documenters, medics, cultural leaders, and global ambassadors, the World Wide Voyage will link sustainable thinking with the perpetuation of Hawaiian heritage, customs, and practices. Aboard the double-hulled Hōkūle‘a, there is little room for intellectualizing about technology. Here, thinking is replaced by feeling, knowing is from experience. The constant motion of bodies, waves, rigging, and stars leaves little stillness for stale thoughts to rise to the surface and threaten the equilibrium of our bodies. “Feeling is what you have as a kid,” says Tai Crouch, a crew member on the Hōkūle‘a. “In some cases, it is nourished, and in most, you are told it is nothing. When you act, you act with the knowledge that you are feeling your ancestors and those beyond the veil. To the western mind, it is called insanity.” Na‘au has also been bolstered by years of preparation. “For years, we wondered, Can we actually do this?” Thompson recounts. “We studied the currents and winds of the great oceans and realized we could, with the 75 percent chance of the wind behind us, much of it with a following sea.” At 25, crew member Austin Kino has been named safety officer for several legs of the voyage. “We’ve been training for over two years now,” says Kino. “To prepare for what cannot be prepared for, I go off of old stories, talking to people that did this before me and constantly being in and around the ocean. We can’t go anywhere without being reminded of Eddie [Aikau] and tragedy. In the years of sailing, there have been three overboard incidents, and so statistically, we might have two this trip. We’ve been training on safety protocol with everyone from the U.S. Navy to regular watermen. After our initial leg through Hawai‘i, we should be as ready as we can be.” Hawai‘i, and the peoples of the Pacific, are ready for the world. What this journey means to the people of Hawai‘i cannot be overstated. Out beyond the limits of a city, where limbs are reference points and air your sustenance, wind rushes through sails propelling forward. There are countless means to an end, many ways to arrive at a place. Most of us will never sail aboard the Hōkūle‘a, but as crew members fling their fishing lines out behind the canoe, rest in beds within her hulls, we are there with them. Two voyaging canoes press forward on a dark night. Neither ship cresting through waves superior. They both exist in modern Hawai‘i, representing our past and our present, each to be celebrated. Many ways is the only way. For more information, or to follow the Hōkūle‘a’s worldwide voyage, visit hokulea.org.

REMAIN HESITANT TO STRAY FROM THE SAFETY OF THE BOAT.

Most would probably agree that jumping into a ring of circling sharks is not something that comes naturally. Legs shaking slightly, I finally lower myself into the cage, holding on to its bars for dear life. But once I submerge my snorkel mask into the water, I am immediately awakened by the clear blue beauty that surrounds me. The sharks glide around me, at times swimming right up to the glass of the cage, and I am completely mesmerized by their movements. Watching them interact in their natural habitat, the notion of danger completely escapes my mind, and it is then that I begin to question why I was so afraid in the first place. When most people think of sharks, images from Jaws or Discovery Channel’s Sharkweek immediately come to mind. In these contexts, sharks are viewed as terrifying, dangerous creatures. In reality, however, sharks pose little threat to humans and are fundamental to the vitality

of our oceans and our lives. Dating back to the Age of the Dinosaurs, sharks have played an essential role in keeping our oceans clean. Without them, our oceans would be filled with decaying animals, resulting in a contamination of the air that we breathe. They are also crucial to maintaining the balance of entire ecosystems. In some areas, for example, the decline of shark species due to overfishing has led to an overpopulation of stingrays, in turn causing the collapse of scallop fisheries. It’s estimated that humans kill about 100 million sharks every year through such practices as overfishing, habitat destruction, or the immensely wasteful shark finning, in which the shark’s fin is cut off and the animal thrown back into the water while still alive. Today, sharks represent the greatest percentage of threatened marine species on the IUCN Red List, which assess the conservation status

of species. One organization in particular is hoping to change that. PangeaSeed is an international organization dedicated to raising awareness surrounding the conservation and preservation of sharks and other marine species in peril with “artivism,” a blend of art and activism. “Artwork has the power to bring social change,” says Tre’ Packard, who launched PangeaSeed while he was living in Japan (one of the largest perpetrators of shark finning in the world). “By mixing art and activism, we were able to give sharks the makeover they needed to capture people’s attention.” Packard reached out to various artists of work he collected, and they quickly became the source of PangeaSeed’s success, with the artists’ unique creations coming to symbolize shark conservation. Believing that art and design can transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries

to inspire positive global change, PangeaSeed has tapped more than a hundred artists to give sharks the voice they so desperately need. Though Hawai‘i was the first government in the world to ban the sale, possession, trade, and distribution of shark fins in 2010, today that law is in jeopardy of being superseded by the Federal Shark Conservation Act. Though it bans shark finning, the federal law would allow fishermen to bring the entire shark to land, cut the fin off, and ship it out, which the current Hawai‘i law does not allow for. Though conservation organizations have little say or control over the pending federal legislation, Packard is hopeful that a greater change in awareness of younger generations, who didn’t grow up with Jaws, will occur. Until then, PangeaSeed still has a lot of work ahead of them.

KAILUA sAILbOARds & KAYAKsT E x T B Y D e V I N m o o D Y

When I came to Hawai‘i for an internship at Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks, I wasn’t planning on staying. I grew up on the East Coast, and when I arrived, my friend that picked me up took one look at my shoes, and said “You won’t be needing those anymore.” My first day at work, I tagged along on a guided kayak tour to the Mokulua “Twin” islands just offshore of Kailua. The blue skies melded with the turquoise water to the point of sensory overload. I watched as a terrier tore around the beach. “Hey, this is a protected seabird sanctuary,” I heard my friend call out. He

then took five minutes to gently educate this unknowing paddler to rein in his dog. “It’s our kuleana (responsibility) as kayak guides to be the stewards of these islands,” he told me, a credo that has really stuck with KSK. Nearly once a month, a group of us from KSK, along with volunteers and scientists, depart on a restoration trip to the Mokulua islands. We have a remarkable group of people that jump at every opportunity to care for this place. It’s encouraging working for a company that shares a passion for our natural areas, and I invite everyone to join us and catch the same reverence for Kailua Bay that I did nearly a decade ago.

Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks is the only kayak shop located by Kailua Beach and offers kayak tours and rentals with aloha. For more information, call 808-262-2555, or visit kailuasailboards.com.

HAwAIIAN sURf AdVENTUREsIn the heart of Hawai‘i Kai, nestled in the back of Koko Marina Center is a water sports company off the beaten path of the crowded surf of Waikīkī. Hawaiian Surf Adventures utilizes offshore, uncrowded breaks in beautiful Maunalua Bay for its various water sport adventures: surf lessons by boat, stand-up paddle lessons and rental, and the only double-hull Hawaiian canoe tour on O‘ahu. After years of teaching on Maui and O‘ahu, owner Trace Harrington soon became tired of sharing his love for ocean sports on overcrowded surf breaks. “There is usually no crowd out at the break where we do our surf lessons, so novice surfers are not intimidated by other surfers and their boards,” he says. “With small group lessons or private lessons

available, our guests leave us with great surf memories.” Hawaiian Surf Adventures turns the challenging sport of surfing into a fun, family-friendly adventure perfect for any visitor or local looking to learn how to surf or to improve their surfing skills. HSA also offers a two-hour stand-up paddle lesson where guests can explore the sandbar, nature preserve, and the waterways of Hawai‘i Kai while honing their SUP technique with experienced instructors. Another unique offering from HSA is their double-hull canoe adventure. As you perfect your paddling technique with the instruction of an expert, you’ll enjoy breathtaking scenery from the coast of O‘ahu’s eastside while receiving educational information about Hawai‘i and its history.

Hawaiian Surf Adventures is conveniently located in Koko Marina Center and is open Monday to Saturday for rentals and lessons. To make reservations or for more information, visit hawaiiansurfadventures.com

This summer, the Honolulu Museum of Art presents Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams: The Hawai‘i Pictures, the first exhibition to feature a dialogue of work created in and about Hawai‘i by two American masters.

O’Keeffe is inextricably tied to the American Southwest and Adams is known for his photography of Yosemite National Park. Both artists also visited Hawai‘i and captured the islands’ extraordinary sense of place. The exhibition includes a selection of paintings associated with O’Keeffe’s 1939 trip to Hawai‘i to create illustrations for print advertisements for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (now the Dole Company). Adams’ photographs of Hawai‘i were also the result of a commission. He first visited the islands in 1948 to take photographs for a

series on national parks for the Department of the Interior, and returned in 1957 for a commemorative publication for Bishop National Bank of Hawai‘i (now First Hawaiian Bank).

Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams: The Hawai‘i Pictures is on display through January 12, 2014 at the Honolulu Museum of Art, 900 S. Beretania St. For more information, visit honolulumuseum.org.

Born in Saskatchewan, Canada, Amanda Deck grew up traveling regularly to Hawai‘i with her family, and her love affair with the sea, surf, and sun began. After graduating, she fled the cold of Canada and found her way to the island of O‘ahu where she now lives and designs her unique handcrafted jewelry from her office on the beach.

Just 20 years old when she arrived to the islands, she soon discovered a passion for the art of making jewelry by hand. To feed her fire, she got a job at the local bead store, The Bead Gallery. Settling down and finding peace in the simple life of surfing and cruising Waikīkī Beach, her passion for jewelry grew deeper. Under the apprenticeship of Jaime Yoshida and Jason DelMunbo she received metalwork training from a variety of artists in California. After 10 years of refining her talent, and after many years of pres-sure from her close friends (and biggest fans), she began her own line, Amo Hawaii, in 2010. “My designs are an extension of my passion for the ocean, my need to be in the sun and wind, and my desire to feel the ground under my feet,” Amanda says of her creations. “I allow

my imagination to roam free through each piece of jewelry, and I share my wish for all of us to experience kindness, love, and hope with every stitch, every knot, and every wrap.” Today she still lives in Waikīkī, enjoying the simple life of the surf and sun but now sells her handcrafted designer jewelry in local boutiques like Sand People in Waikīkī and Ala Moana. If you’re ever in Waikīkī, you can most likely find her crafting on the beach any day of the week, in between surf sessions and talking story with her longtime friends and uncles.
