In February 2010 we visited Japan and checked out Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. The main goal (aside from some business stuff) was to enjoy the food and drink and try some new stuff. The highlights of the trip were the feeding of deer in Nara and monkeys at the Arashiyama Monkey Park.
The night before we [...]
Sunset at 30x Speed

Filed under Beaches & Nature, Videos
When I filmed the winter sunset video, I thought the footage came out pretty nice. But because there was hardly any wind, the sky looked pretty static. The normal trade winds usually blow the clouds fast enough so that you can see them moving with the naked eye quite easily. Since this was not the [...]

Halona Cove Beach on the Makapuu coast is also known as “Eternity Beach” because it was the beach in that famous scene in “From Here to Eternity”. It is actually nestled under a lookout point overlooking that beach, Blowhole, and Sandy Beach.
Big Wave Surfing at Waimea Bay

Waimea Bay is home to the famous Eddie Aikau Big Wave Surf event. Although they try to have the event every year in December, they can only do it if the waves are big enough and the conditions are rideable. The last time it was held was back in 2004. Here are a few clips [...]
Morning at Sunset Beach

Filed under Beaches & Nature, Featured, Videos
One of our favorite early morning hangouts is Sunset Beach on the famous North Shore of Oahu. It’s a far drive (by Hawaii standards, anyway) of about 40 miles from Honolulu but the reward is having the beach mostly to oneself. It’s hard to beat sipping good coffee on a beautiful morning on the [...]
Winter Waves Pound Sharks Cove

The North Shore of Oahu is well-known for the large and often dangerous winter waves. Here is what it looks like during the summer.
As you can see it is as calm as a lake. It’s even safe enough to go walking in the tidepools at night with a flashlight (if you know what you are [...]
Surfers at Sunrise & Sunset

Filed under Beaches & Nature, Videos
We know the weather is getting cold as winter approaches. For better or worse, the average temperature in Hawaii only varies 4-8 degrees F between summer and winter. While that means we don’t get the beautiful seasonal changes of higher latitudes, it also means that we have beach weather all year round. Surfers take advantage [...]
Sunrise at Sandy Beach Park

In all of my years in living in Hawaii, I have never once set foot on Sandy Beach. As a kid, I did all my body boarding at other places like Bellows, Sand Island, Waikiki, Waimanalo, etc. Sandy’s is famous for its powerful and dangerous shore break and is not someplace that the inexperienced should [...]

Aloha Wear Photoshoot

Filed under Hawaiian Clothing, Videos
Photoshoots look like a lot of fun. And they are! One thing we noticed over
the years is that our photoshoots generally start off pretty slow, especially if
the models don’t know each other very well. The photographer plays a big role in
helping the models relax and have fun. As the shoot progresses and everyone gets
used to [...]
